POS 2u keycaps MX cherry

thingiverse

This was a request from some random person on the internet. They wanted a cherry mx keycap that would span two switches on a standard keyboard. On their keyboard, they had a split backspace, and they wanted just a regular 2u backspace key. They referred to it as a Point-of-sale keycap. NOTE: this will not fit a standard backspace with a single switch and stabilizers. It is designed to fit over two normally space switches. There are two models. The model POS_2u_Cherry_row1_tinedsupport.stl is designed to be printed curvy side up on an FDM printer. The tines are adhesion helpers for the stems. After the keycap is printed cut these off with a flush cutter. If printing on an FDM printer, there might be some trimming, filing, or sanding required to get the keycap to fit well. To get a nice curve on the top print at .1 layer height. The POS_2u_Cherry_row1.stl is the keycap with no pre-made supports. This one is best done on a resin printer, or an SLA printer. For FDM, you could make your own adhesion helper (such as a brim) or if you don't mind sanding the curved top, print this one upside down to get a good stem fit. These keycaps were made using this library: https://github.com/rsheldiii/KeyV2 My keys.scad file looks like this: ``` use <src/key.scad> include <src/settings.scad> include <src/key_sizes.scad> include <src/key_profiles.scad> include <src/key_types.scad> include <src/key_transformations.scad> include <src/key_helpers.scad> $stem_support_type = "disabled"; //dcs_row(n=1) 2u() stabilized(mm=9.525) cherry() blank() bar_support() tined_stem_support() rounded() key(); dcs_row(n=1) 2u() stabilized(mm=9.525) cherry() blank() bar_support() rounded() key(); ``` For details on the different functions refer to the documentation for the KeyV2 library link above.
