3d Material Recommendation

[abfshaal]

Hello!

I am a bit new to making custom keyboards from scratch, and this is my first time approaching one. I want wanted to ask on your recommendation for which 3d printing to use for the keycaps and the casing.

Thanks a ton in advance!

I want wanted to ask on your recommendation for which 3d printing to use for the keycaps and the casing.

@abfshaal I'm not the designer but I've 3D printed a bunch of stuff including keyboard cases and keycaps. If you're printing it yourself on a FDM 3D printer you can use pretty much any material you want as long as it prints well in your printer. If you're printing keycaps, there are a number of options on Printables for both Choc and MX switches. A lot of people like to print them oriented with one corner pointing down toward the bed and the opposite corner pointing toward the ceiling with a slight tilt, so that the layer lines are less obvious. I can't speak to resin or other printing methods.
