Complete low-profile Cherry MX stem keycap set optimized for 3D printing (GEM low-pro, multi-material)

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.

This complete low-profile (4.5mm tall) CherryMX-compatible keycap set was generated using the “gem” profile from the Keycap Playground (https://github.com/riskable/keycap_playground) with modifications to make it low-profile (and a bit wider).  It includes all the usual keys plus a TON of emoji keycaps!  They're a bit thin in order to maximize light pass-through and keep the number of tool changes low (shouldn't be too fragile though).

These keycaps are meant to print flat which means you won't get the usual raised bumps on the F and J keys.  Worry not though!  If you print the F and J keys on a textured sheet (instead of smooth) it should provide the same exact effect.  Alternatively--if you don't have a textured sheet--just print on to some blue tape.  That should provide enough texture to feel the difference 👍

Print @2mm layer height (going smaller is pointless since they print flat!) 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

• I highly recommend printing these in PETG as it feels and sounds the best IMHO.
• The stems on these keycaps are slightly shorter than usual (3mm instead of 4mm) in order to fit better with low-profile switches.
• Many keycaps have multiple variants (e.g. all the shift keys).  It's up to you which ones you want to print!
• These keycaps print fast! If you just need a bunch of keycaps for something quick (like switch testers) these are just perfect 👍
• These were generated using the “box_cherry” (square) style Cherry MX stem which might not fit certain Cherry-like switches.  In that case you'll need to generate these on your own using the Keycap Playground: Just modify scripts/low_profile_gem.py and change “box_cherry” to “round_cherry”.  FYI: The “box_cherry” stem type prints much more reliably than the round type (with FDM printers).  Instructions are inside the gem_full.py script itself.
