Keytop for an IBM model m keyboard with the IBM logo onto it, ideal for a super (or windows if you prefer) key
The model is made to be printed with a resin printed considering the size of the key, the legend is etched 0.5 mm into the key to allow an easy way to make the legend a different color from the rest of the key: just print the legend first by spraying at a 90° angle and then paint the rest avoiding that angle as much as you can to make sure that the inside remains the desired color.
Also if anyone whishes to make the key the same pebble color as the non-alphanumeric keys of a model m i found that you can achieve a nearly perfect color match by using the army painter warpaints air on a grey base in this combination:
6 parts of skeleton bone
3 parts of uniform grey
1 part of leather brown
For the print settings I would suggest VERY LIGHT supports because the walls are very thin and to avoid them on the exterior of the key as much as you can to have the best finish possible
