Useful Fusion 360 scripts for placing keycaps and switches based on KLE string

Makerspace Keyboard-related Github repositories

Hey folks, I created both scripts for my own use, but I think it may be useful for other people as well. All the scripts are available on my GitHub repository.

Here is a brief description of the scripts:

Keycaps Script

Keycaps
Keycaps4000×1934 990 KB

This scripts will insert all the keycaps to complete a KLE layout. In order to make it work, you need to create a new project in Fusion 360 and include all STEP files from Hinney Bush’s CherryMX models from here: GitHub - hineybush/CherryMX: Solidworks (.sldprt) models of Cherry profile MX keycaps..

CopyMX Script

CopyMX
CopyMX4008×1798 1.16 MB

This script basically copies MX switches following a layout string based on the Keyboard Layout Editor (KLE) website standard. You need to manually edit the script and replace the LAYOUT string with the desired layout.

I did a similar thing for 3ds Max. It’s very useful.

Neat. Time to use it with my ScrabblePad model and crash F360.
