They look great! I really love that you show you first time attempts and natural mishaps that you have with trying something for the first time, makes it less daunting to think about trying new things!
Great first caps! Don't forget about gloves 🧤 And as others was pointing out, pressure pot will help get rid of the bubbles. Even diy one with 20-25 psi
you can use a cheap pro grade vacuum pot to get rid of bubbles, and a quirk with them is that its really satisfying (pressure pots also work but are generally more expensive)
I'd love to have some Resin Caps. As long as they're mixed with the right ratio so the cured resin isn't toxic. Orange like those old 7-Segment displays
Great first attempt! If you really want to make them bubble free then I would recommend a pressure pot. Two channels that I watch for resin work are Robert Tolone and Rybonator, you might want to check them out if you plan on doing more resin keycaps.
Super late comment but I recently became interested in making keycaps aswell! As others have stated with the gloves, respirator masks are also a definite must for your health when working with Resin. Had to comment just incase, because not a lot of people are aware of the risks. Stay safe and keep on customizin on!
Wait, let just says that you want to make "underwater theme" keycaps, should we worry about bubble that will formed later? bcs you now, some underwater theme art has bubble in them right?
gonna try it to, i have a drop ctrl and i want to make some orange white theme with it. maybe spray paint the case white and get some white/orange resin keycaps
They look really nice! I want to try it but i have no mechanical keyboard because i have no money for it :( so I'll probably not get to try it in a very long time :( (Great vi tho, love your videos!)
you make me want to make a custom keyboard man... im thinking about it now. i have had the same keyboard for about 4-5 years. It was like 20 bucks and it doesnt even have switches its some kind of bubble? :d You really bringing out those demons from me wanting to make Evangelion keyboard.
Hey man, you really need to wear gloves, epoxy can be extremely toxic. Also maybe weigh the resin or measure it somehow, as uneven mixing rates can cause the cured part to be toxic as well, as some in cured parts can still be present... :)

Thanks! I try to keep it real 😅

Sounds awesome!
Really nice guide, earned a sub!
I'm at work but dibs
Do you recommend over filling the mold and then cutting it? I'm scared to not put enough resin and mess up my project
For sure, you can always remove but can never add more.

They look pretty cool! Custom cables next? ^o.o^
Cablemod actually sent me some custom cables for free, you'll see them in my upcoming build videos!
