Description
After removing a bunch of keys I didn't like how it left the hotswap sockets open and all exposed. Whipped up this quick and simple model, which I'm very pleased with.
I suppose it really comes down to how well your printer is calibrated. For me, the model fits absolutely perfectly. It requires some force to push in, stays in place securely and is pretty much a press fit. Removing them if nessecary also works quite well, although they might lose their fit after taking them in and out a couple of times.
In case they do not fill well for you I suggest scaling them in your slicer ever so slightly, until they give you a fit that you're happy with. That, or you give them a few strokes with some sandpaper.
I printed mine in PLA Prusament Galaxy Black and using the textured PEI sheet, gives the covers a really nice surface finish.
Could be fun playing around with some translucent filament to take advantage of the unused keyswitch lighting? Maybe in the future :)
