These all have 2mm thick walls There are 4 parameters representing row 1-4. Just set a value of 1 for whichever row you would like to make a keycap for, and make sure to set a value of 0 for all of the other ones. This will automatically modify the angle, concave and height of the keycap for that row. That easy! Instructions: 0.
