Pokemon keycap set

 

This is a full set of alphabetic keys (Cherry MX style caps) for the Unown Pokemon, which happens to depict the alphabet ;D Thought this was a perfect fit to make your keyboard a little more nerdy!

 

Idea

The idea had always been to print the keys in white, and fill the negative space with black resin, then cure and sand it to a nice finish.

My Resin Printer sadly broke down, so have been unable to make prints and pretty pictures of it myself. If you end up giving this a go, please share the pictures! :D

 

Creation

I had made a blank (included) cap in Fusion360, and wrote a (Python) script which exports all the variants automatically for you! It updates a text sketch with the letters A-Z, then embosses that onto the cap, and saves it as STL.
I shall include the script file as well, in case anyone wants to learn/use it (Export_KeyVariants.py).

 

Updates

  1. Added some example pictures (renders) of letter variants with how I imagined they could look when printed!
  2. Found an old test print for the Blank file, so added that in the screenshots, to show it working (and is quite translucent, which is perfect for the LED's in my Corsair K70 RGB MK.2
