KLP Lamé — Kailh Choc & MX Keycaps

Sculpted and curved keycaps for Kailh Choc and MX switches. Here is a project structure:

Folder Description
Assets Various images and actual photos of keycaps
Blender Blender files for Combined Versions and rendering preview image
Fusion 360 Source files for Autodesk Fusion 360
Lychee (Legacy) Project files for Lychee Slicer. Use it only for the supports reference
STL 3D models for any CAD of Slicer software

There are currently 7 variants of keycaps:

Variant Description
Normal Just a flat keycap profile with a small recess, that is soothing for fingers
Normal Tilted Same as Normal, but top profile has a 15° tilt and 0.5mm upward height compensation
Normal Homing Has three little bumps that is useful to determine home positions
Thumb Same as Normal, but top profile has a cut along down side
Saddle Same as Thumb, but top profile has two symmetrical cuts
Saddle Tilted Tilted version of Saddle. Same 15° and height compensation
Saddle Homing Has three little bumps that is useful to determine home positions

What keycaps do I need for my keyboard?

First, you should pick Choc or MX stem variant. Then, for keycap set there are some variants that depends entirely of your choice.

For corne-like keyboards with 36-keys I use:

Amount Kind Purpose
20 Saddle Tilted For top and bottom rows
16 Saddle For home row + 6 for thumbs

or

Amount Kind Purpose
20 Normal Tilted For top and bottom rows
10 Normal For home row
6 Thumb For thumbs

How to print?

It is best to position the model more vertically to avoid tactile layer-to-layer bumps. Personally, I use 45° or 75° angle, but it's up to you.

STL/Choc-Combined and STL/MX-Combined contains files that you can use in any 3D-printing service like JLCPCB or PCBWay. You can download them directly using links below:

Warning! Lychee project files are deprecated and should be used only as example of making supports. Better to use the original STL files instead.

Can I use these models for a production and sale?

Yes. But you must leave a mention of this repository/author to end users.

Can I modify, fork, post (or whatever) these models?

Yes. Rules are the same. Give a credit to the author.

Changelog

  • [Project] Changed Images & Photos

Now the models are also suitable for FDM 3D Printers. But I still recommend using SLA for the best quality.
