Orange keycaps as well yeah? 
Performing surgery on my Honeywell-themed TKC1800, to split the left shift and scoot the backslash up next to it for a more true ISO layout. I’ll also be changing the keys right of the spacebar to two 1.5u’s, and adding some internal dampening.

Thank you! I scored a bunch of old Honeywell badges in various sizes off eBay, and was surprised the red matched SA Honeywell so well.

I’m sorry, I never got back to you.
It’s a profile I have been working on. I call it URSA Major, since it’s the high profile of the two

Those are great!
Are they 3d printed ?
Yes, they are. Resin prints with 0.05 layer height. They feel great

I’ve been working on this profile for some time. It was completed last year, and I’ve been test typing it ever since
The colors are small tweaks to the design, mostly the dish.

Wow - those look awesome - especially for 3D printed ones.
how did you get legends on this set? last I saw, these were still single shot prints
wait, does that imply that there will be a low profile “ursa minor”, and will height be the only difference?
Yup

The infill of the legends is done with polymer clay.

Talk about a seemingly simple thing made hard. I know I’m tired but this one got me: swapping TTC Matrix switches into one of my Prophets. The POM plate is quite soft and somehow it’s difficult to seat switches but they pop out easily so I found myself playing whackamole. I’d get one switch seated and another would pop out or the plate would bend since the switch wasn’t fully seated. Eventually I gave up and loaded the entire plate with switches, then aligned them to the millmax sockets on the PCB and seated them. Definitely never done that before but surprisingly it worked.
