# 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](#how-to-print) and rendering preview image |
|
||
| **Fusion 360** | Source files for [Autodesk Fusion 360](https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/overview) |
|
||
| **Lychee (Legacy)** | Project files for [Lychee Slicer](https://mango3d.io/). 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](https://3d.jlcpcb.com/3d-printing/stereolithography) or [PCBWay](https://www.pcbway.com/rapid-prototyping/3d-printing/). You can download them directly using links below:
