This set is identical to my Cherry MX-compatible keycap set (https://www.printables.com/model/397180-complete-cherry-mx-stem-keycap-set-optimized-for-3) but it was generated with Alps stems. Below is a copy-paste of that model's description:
IMPORTANT: PrusaSlicer thinks some of these keycaps used inches. This is incorrect. Tell it “no” if it asks about that (but say “yes” to multi-material). I included screenshots of the correct responses to these pop-up dialogs if you look at the images of this model.
Also, these keycaps are meant to be printed on their side! Don't print them flat unless you want a rough top surface or you're using a resin printer with very high resolution.
This complete Alps-compatible keycap set was generated using the “riskeycap” profile from the Keycap Playground (https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground). It includes all the usual keys plus a TON of emoji keycaps! They're nice and THICK too for a fantastic feel and sound.
The most important part of this keycap set is that it was optimized for 3D printing! The top surface of every keycap should be nice and smooth right off the printer--no sanding required! There's even F and J keycaps with the little bumps necessary for location the home row without looking.
Print @0.16mm layer height (or smaller) for best results. A 0.4mm nozzle should work fine! For best results though I highly recommend a 0.25mm nozzle (if you can be that patient hehe).
If you notice any particular size or keycap legend type is missing let me know! I'll add it to the script that generated these keycaps and add it to this collection.
NOTES
- If you remove the legend “part” from any (or all) given .3mf files (just click on the second “part” in the model list and hit the delete key) you can perform a single-material print with carved-out legends (instead of multi-material). This looks fantastic if you print them in a semi-transparent white filament (e.g. cheap PETG). I included pictures of what that looks like in this model's images.
- I highly recommend printing these in PETG as it feels and sounds the best IMHO.
- Many keycaps have multiple variants (e.g. all the shift keys). It's up to you which ones you want to print!
