This keycap is hollow and will not be able to mount directly onto your keyboard without some post-printing work.

I found that my printer does a really bang-up job when printing the Cherry MX stems, they would never fit correctly, or they would just break off. I designed this key to be hollow so that I could cast the stem out of resin.

My process:

1. Slice key with as super quality as possible. I used a .2mm nozzle at .08 layer height. Use supports (I used line supports with 5% density, they came off very nicely).

2. Print key

3. Prepare your resin. I used UV resin because it cures quickly.

4. Cast the resin stems. I have my own Cherry MX molds, they are very cheap on Amazon (Link below)

5. Add some extra resin to the inside of the key so the stems have something to adhere to

6. Place the stem carefully into the inside of the keycap. *I do not remove the stems from their mold for this step, I leave them in to more easily align them to the keycaps.

7. Cure the resin and do any other desired clean-up or painting
