You just threw that nugget of knowledge about curing in water first in there mid-sentence; this is vital info. Please make a video about your cleaning and curing process.
I found its better to remove the supports BEFORE curing the pieces, while they're still soft. That way they're easier to remove and leave less imperfections
to add to this, you can use a craft knife or something else sharp to remove the bumps before curing (if there are any) as well, so there's less of a chance of something like what happened to Grogu's ear taking place. I've heard people say that soaking the prints in warm/slightly hot water for a short time can drastically reduce the number of bumps and pits, but I keep forgetting to try it
Hello, for some reason my prints are failing or the + looks like it has too much resin when it cures. What are your settings for the print? I'm printing on a photon mono x
Great video, I always have problems with the margins when fitting resin printed keycaps on switches, have hard time to get a good fit, I'll try your model, got the same printer as you so hopefully will fit. Would it be possible for you to provide the STEP file for the key without any logo, so I could put my own icons ontop of it in Fusion?
Thanks! I should have the blank keycap model on my thingiverse so check the link in the description - if not I’ll upload it when I get back home later tonight!
Also - the margins on mine seem a bit tight at first so you kind of have to press them on the switch to clear the path but then after that it’s pretty smooth and tight
@@CASSDesigns Thank you, I can find STL of the basic keycap but not STEP for it, would you mind sharing the STEP as it's easier to work with in Fusion?
There might be a support going to it, go to your slicer and check and if there is then remove that support. If not, you might have some trapped resin when you cure it that’s solidifying in the little +, go in with a toothpick and clear it out and make sure you rinse it well in IPA before curing in UV
I use the free version for everything I do - but for merging files I use something in the windows store called 3D builder - also free, I show that method in another video on this channel
I prefer flush cutters. the deburring tool looks a bit chaotic

Rub in a sandpaper to make it even
I wonder how do they sound compared to PBT or ABS keycaps.

I gotcha - I’ll try to find the original file later today and export a STEP file from it, I’ll comment back when I get it uploaded
Great video thank you!
Thank you!
Amazing! 🖤
hey dude i'm struggling my center is closed what i do to fix it ???????

How do you clear out the structure supports on the keycap so it can fit on the keyboard switch
Think spyderfarms lights are suffice to ensure a cure? Also what kind of paint did you use.
I’m not sure, as long as it’s decently bright UV you should be good. And I used “the army painter war games minister paint set”
@@CASSDesigns okay awesome I just now started unboxing mine and hadn't thought of curing as I thought the device actually cured aswell haha.
@@bryann2277 I gotcha! Worst case you can always leave your prints in the sun to cure
Is there any way to print along with colors
There are printers with two heads that let you use separate color filaments on your prints, but I didn’t have one at the time of making this video
Hello, Can you please tell what the resil you use ?
I use the anycubic eco resin
@@CASSDesigns Thanks you
what 3d printer do you have?
can i merge 3D files in Fusion 360 in free version?
