I designed this model to hold mechanical keyboard switches, specifically the Cherry style of switch.

This is a decent design if you want something that prints relatively quickly, however, it doesn't have enough support to really give a good feel for the keycaps. If you want a better option, that does take longer to print, try my updated version here.

The switches snap in from the top.

Print instructions

Print upside down. I'm not saying it would be impossible to print right-side up, but why?
