PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles VS KeyV2

The spacing is minimal while not cutting stuff off the switches. The caps are a scuffed 3d print of the Philadelphia Minimalists, but Pseudoku's design is so good they still feel great.

I have 3d printed them from jlcpcb with mfj. Actually black mfj looks better. https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles Also you can buy handmade ones from https://www.asymplex.xyz/category/des

Sorry but what exactly did you made here? I would asume you took the DES keycaps files from Pseudoku and get them printed somewhere?

Pseudoku has a wip profile [Philadelphia minimalist)[https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles] which is minimum x/y spacing for choc switches. You may be able to mod the scad file to create min x /normal y on these or perhaps Chicago steno profile from the same repo

The Keycaps are DES from https://www.asymplex.xyz/product/des-alpha-sets They are also open source here: https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles My favourite keycap profile. The ordered version feels amazing. The ones in the picture are 3D printed in MJF natural grey

- Key caps are XDA, except thumb keys which are custom designs that I 3d printed for max comfort (my models are on the github, but I think they were originally remixed from [here](https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles))

Convex DES keys are pretty nice - you can print your own from Pesu's github files https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles (resin prints will be the nicest outcome, keep in mind the stems will get brittle over time as they cure and you may end up breaking them if you remove them frequently)

I used the superb KeyV2 library for OpenSCAD to generate the keycap models.

Essentially I used this repo and it's OpenScad based generator: https://github.com/rsheldiii/KeyV2

Hey! I'm trying to do the same thing. If you need a keycap generator KeyV2, the OpenSCAD setup, did really well for me. I've been struggling though because I don't have a resin printer. The trickiest part of creating your own molds, is that it copies the finish of the source of the mold exactly. Want a shiny keycaps? Better have a shiny key to copy. Want a matte finish? Sure hope the source is matte. Let me know if you ever get this figured out because I started down the exact same path wanting cherry profile, but only finding OEM profile molds.

I would say its https://github.com/rsheldiii/KeyV2 or some fork of it, but I'd like to know the exact source too.

DSA keys have a nice curved top and a consistent profile across all keys. These were generated with KeyV2 for my moonlander split keyboard since I need all 1u keys.

any chance you could share your process for printing the stems? I have a 3d printing library for keycaps that supports choc keys, but the stems are really fragile...

if you have access to a 3d printer you can also make double sculpted keycaps with my library. Choc stems are quite difficult to print though, your best bet is a resin printer

First time user of Openscad I am using it using rsheldiii/KeyV2: KeyV2: A Parametric Mechanical Keycap Library (github.com) project.

the downside of this approach is that you need to model the keycaps but thankfully libraries like resheldiii's KeyV2 exist.
