Cog Keycap
Description
## Description ### Hello! It has been a while since I last modeled a small keycap! Here’s a gear keycap that can spin! So, if you ever feel stressed, you have a sort of fidget toy right on your keyboard! ### Idea Behind This Model I wanted to try printing a simple mechanism in one piece (something that rotates around an axis) using my SLA printer. So, I modeled something basic, then printed it (making sure to place the supports in the right spots to avoid highlands), and it worked! However, if your SLA printer is a bit old, or if you want to try with an FDM printer (with a 0.1mm nozzle), I have provided a file with the keycap parts separated. ### What type of switches is this keycap for? There are different keycaps for different switches. MX Stem: - *1.59 x 1.59 x 4.7mm* (**ALL_cog_keycap_supported_2.stl** and **cog_key_body_2.stl**) Smaller dimensions: - *1.33 x 1.33 x 4.5mm* (**ALL_cog_keycap_supported_1.stl** and **cog_key_body_1.stl**) ### And for which key? It’s not modeled for a specific key, but it is preferable to use it on the escape key, though you are free to choose. ### Contents - Version ALL 1.33 x 1.33 x 4.5mm (ALL_cog_keycap_supported_1.stl) - Version ALL 1.59 x 1.59 x 4.7mm (ALL_cog_keycap_supported_2.stl) - Gear part (cog.stl) - Pin part for the gear (cog_pin.stl) - Body part 1.33 x 1.33 x 4.5mm (cog_key_body_1.stl) - Body part 1.59 x 1.59 x 4.7mm (cog_key_body_2.stl) ### Dimensions 18 x 18 x 14.5mm ### Any problem? If any of the files don’t suit you, feel free to contact me. --- The images are renderings; when you print the model with your printer, the keycap will be colorless. You will need to paint it to achieve a more realistic look. ## 3D PRINTING SETTINGS ### SLA Printing **Printer:** Anycubic Photon Mono X2 **Raft thickness:** 2.7mm **Raft angle:** 45 **Bottom exposure:** 25s **Normal exposure:** 2.5s **Off time:** 0.5s **Bottom layers:** 5 **Layer thickness:** 0.05mm **Z lift distance:** 8mm **Z lift speed:** 2mm/s **Z retract speed:** 3mm/s **Support:** Yes, be careful of print detachment due to the suction effect.
