Nuphy Nutype F1 KEA keycaps

A set of ANSI key caps for Nutype F1. It's a great keyboard, but keycaps on mine have deteriorated with time and it's no longer supported by Nuphy.

Slightly bigger than standard Choc keycaps. 18x17mm instead of 17x16 mm.

Printing:

• Layer height: 0.08-0.1mm works best

• Wall loops: 3

• Gap fill: disabled (not strictly necessary but may help with ASA/ABS)

• Integrated supports, so no supports needed

Post processing:

• Stabilizers:

  • Glue on stabilizers

    • Stabilizer 1.75U on 1.75U keycaps

    • Stabilizer on other keycaps that need them

• Sanding:

  • Can be wet sanded. ASA, ABS, GF-PETG or CF-PETS sand very well

  • Use Sanding base to sand the center of 1U keycaps and Sanding handle to hold the keycap while sanding

  • Sanding handle can be attached to an electric drill to speed up the process.

  • Longer key caps have to be sanded manually.

  • First pass 320 grit. It can be used as the only pass for GF-PETG (gives woody texture feel).

  • Second pass 2000 grit. Gives polished look and feel to ASA/ABS and CF-PETG.

  • Sanding process:

    • Put wet sanding paper over the Sanding base

    • Insert the Sanding handle into an electric drill

    • Insert a keycap into the Sanding handle

    • Press the keycap's face against the Sanding base and start the drill

    • Then place the sanding paper on the flat surface

    • Put the keycap on it face down and sand the flat part of the face

• Legends

  • Print keycaps from the Legends folder

  • They also can be sanded

  • Use 0.5 or thinner ball point pen to paint the legends over
