PLA for keycaps - Bad idea?

  • You’re right - my main concern is the stem breaking in the switch. The choc switches are a little difficult if the little keycaps stems break in them.😕

    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?
