PLA for keycaps - Bad idea?
PLA for keycaps - Bad idea?
Hello all,
After trying to find good choc v1 compatible keycaps, I found some STLs on GitHub for some Chicago Stenographer ones.
My 3D printer is just an A1 mini (can only print PLA and PETG - maybe TPU?). Do you think it’s a good idea to use PLA for keycaps?
Have MBKs right now on my Chocofi but was hoping for something more sculpted to get a little less fat finger typing.
I know most people order Nylon SLS prints from online but since I already have a 3D printer I was hoping to avoid that.
Bad idea?
You're viewing a single thread.
I have a couple of escape keys that I use, but they are too hard and the feeling is not uniform enough to use for other keys really. I wouldn't trust them for regular alphabet at all. Especially for keys that have more angle to them they end up having a lot more topography to them.
The stems also can't take as much abuse unless you went ahead and filled the whole key in.
