Project updates - UV printed legends and keycap Accessories

[@babybloc]

I like the multiple legends on each keycap. If I ever feel more confident about what to put on them that’s a nice solution

you're the goat, and those are matias switches btw.

Thanks for that feedback! I am new to these switches and clearly need to keep learning :)

I've been thinking exactly on using DTF UV for custom keycaps! I think yours is the only video yet that goes into this. How do you like it? Can you feel the texture while you type?

[@gabek1120]

If you make custom keycaps where can we order some?

Those printed legends look promising! Have you experimented with how well (or not) they print on colored or dark keycaps?

[@3dkeycap]

Thanks =D Yes, I printed white legends on black keycaps and they turned out great! When printing on darker keycaps, it's harder to get the legend's colors to come out good. I need to experiment by adding a base layer of white ink and then adding the colored ink on top of that. A lot to do! haha

I stuck around! Re: UV Printed keycaps I downloaded your template from Google Docs from your website. I assume this was version 1 of the your template. Honestly, it's janky and pretty horrible. When you have things worked out, please provide a template that either looks like a keyboard and we can put in the information, or if need to stick to that square thing, at least have a template where every square has the middle marked out. WASDkeyboards does their template really well. It has the safe zone for each keycap and everything is marked out really well. For the template to be useful, it should be easy to line up multiple keys together and see what they are supposed to look like. And obviously, the different sizes of some keys need to be done, like shift, backspace, tab, ctrl/alt key sizes. It's nice to see some of your progress. Keep going. Good luck!

Thanks for the constructive feedback! Yes, you had access to an old version. I made a lot of updates to my template but there is still work to be done ;)
