08/24/2025 - V2 Update, now with cleaner printing.  Tweaked the orientation of the key switch holes to both provide better support for the top side and avoid the bad overhangs on the outside.  I also adjusted the interior of the model so that there is less unsupported bridging at the top.  It's not “perfect” but my test prints are awfully close to it with this revision.   The V2 model should be printed as the model is oriented for best results.

 

This model is a dodecahedron MX Switch fidget toy - or a polygonal key switch tester if you don't want to tell people you have a fidget toy on your desk.  

A creator I subscribe to, TwistyPrints, recently came out with their first “clicky" models designed around the MX style keyboard switch.  What to do with a 3D printer and a pile of leftover clicky keyboard switches?  Find more things to print of course!  

I really liked one in particular - MX Fidget Cube by judy2k - the design of it feels nice when you are playing with it.  I was interested in printing a bigger 12 sided version next, but I wanted it to have the same look and feel as the cube.  I couldn't find what I had in mind sooo….this is the result.

This model is designed to print as is with neither a brim nor support. The original model can be printed in any orientation - there were minor print issues regardless of which orientation it was printed it.  The updated V2 model, however, is designed to print in the orientation provided for optimal results.

 Please let me know if you have troubles printing this - this prints without issue for me on my CORE One using the Generic PLA and .20mm SPEED profiles.  I printed mine in a few combinations of filaments - PolyMaker Starlight Nebula, Sunlu Transparent Green, Flashforge Matte Galaxy Black and Cookiecad Witchcraft.

Need MX switches?  Akko Creamy Cyan (Amazon) - I am neither an affiliate of AWS nor am I associated in any way with Akko.  They were recommended by TwistyPrints, they are cheap, reliable and readily available.

Need Keycaps? Cherry MX Keycap by robertferanec - I personally like his V2 keycap, but any MX keycap should work.  I didn't have any keyboards I wanted to sacrifice and found his worked well for me.
