New & Improved KeyCaps

Description

Keycaps designed for a better fit in the front panel. Designed against the Jason Latest DSKY TopIndividualBezels models recently released. I don't think anything was changed with regard to the key holes between the original and the Jason model so they should work with the original faceplate. The caps are designed to sit flush with the front face like the actual unit. I've also used the Gorton Normal Font for the characters. I've included both a raised text version and an engraved text version. I've been printing with a 0.4mm nozzle and the words do not print as well due to the small islands in either raised or engraved styles. I have to get a smaller nozzle and see if they come out better. Also need to get them done in SLA or DLP. Should be nice an crisp then, Printed in white, a coat of black paint over the face followed by a light sand should expose the text nicely on the raised text type. May be able to do a light press on some wet paint with the engraved type buttons without filling the text but I haven't made it that far yet. UPDATE: Just finished printing a full set of raised text key caps, here's a picture. Just gotta touch up a few things so paint doesn't get where I don't want it. UPDATE: Painted the FDM raised text buttons, then used a #17 XACTO blade to scrape off the paint. I had tried to fill some gaps with a coat of clear first but that didn't work, you can still see some spots where there were still valleys in the character. UPDATE: Here's a picture of the engraved caps printed in resin with the ORDER THIS PRINTED option using Harp Controlls LCC. Look great! Now to paint these as well. Came out a tiny bit thicker than designed but that's easily rectified.
