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:

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

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