3d printing of keycaps Atari ST/STE/Mega ST/STE Keyboard caps and stems being 3D printed at the moment.

[rcamp48]

Hello all , so far I have managed to redesign a key cap from someone on Thingiverse (Will get his thingiverse name in a few moments), but I took the key cap with the number 2 on it, made a blank out of it and redesigned with Tinkercad 3 keys so far. I intend to  3D print the entire keyboard and just give them away as the filament and $4000 3D Cubicon printer were donated as well as over 25 boxes of retro hardware including an Atari ST with color monitor , Megafile 60, and 1040 STM. 

 

Because of this Kirk Rietfeld from Kitchener gets all of the credit including the original author of the 2 keypad. 

 

Here are the STLs for the Escape key, the 1 key and the 2 key, print hem at 40 mm per sec , spiralized contours, and 60 percent infill, use support as well for the stem, and a raft to keep it all still.....

You and Kirk did the right thing by filling in a demand for restoration parts.

Nice!  I need a Y Key for my Falcon, as it seems I have one from a non-Qwerty keyboard.  looks like perhaps the ESC key may have the correct angle / size for that one.

Apparently not!  Would need one from that second row...
