What's on your workbench today?

After my initial success with recreating the Commodore 64 keycaps in this project, I’ve started looking into creating a custom low/mid-profile.




I’m currently doing a lot of research and here’s my first test batch. The shape of the top area is based on a superellipse, yet a bit more rounded not to have any parallel lines. The dish is a mix of spherical and cylindrical, with emphasis on a spherical center for the palm to rest on. To me, they feel quite cozy and smooth – it might even work for Cherry lovers :smiley:

In the images, the caps are angled and uniform aka stepped which is not ideal, but I’ve already shaped a row profile for equidistance with a six-degree angle. I’ll probably print those on the weekend.

Please feel free to express your experience and opinions regarding such an endeavor – thank you. :heart:
