It is recommended to print layouts with a brim that extends to the next key. New to the library and still in a beta state, layouts allows you to generate an entire layout for a keyboard! These modifier functions may not cover every use case in that case, you may have to write some SCAD yourself. I encourage you to do some sleuthing but for a list of (most) helper functions with explanations, Check out the wiki! These modifier functions can be found in key_profiles/ for different keycap profiles, key_types.scad for predefined settings for common keys (spacebar, left shift, etc), key_sizes.scad for common unit sizes, and key_transformations.scad for everything else. All these functions manipulate the settings available to you in settings.scad, though some of them are quite complex. You can add a brim to more easily print the stem with brimmed_stem_support, make 2x2 keycaps with 2u() 2uh(), add legends, rotate stems, and more. There is a bevy of supporting functions to customize your keycaps. You can chain as many modifier functions as you like! settings changed through modifier function Pre-programmed key profiles can be found in the key_profiles directory.Д®very key starts with default settings (provided in settings.scad) that are overridden by each function call. keys.scad is the entry point for everything but the most technical use. This library supports Cherry and Alps switches, and has pre-defined key profiles for SA, DSA, DCS, G20, Hi-Pro and (some form of) OEM keycaps.

Unfortunately I don't think I can update the Thingiverse customizer without breaking it, so you don't get all the cool new features I've been developing over the past couple years. Twiddle the variables to see how the keycap changes!

Explanations of each option are provided, as well as some default variables. The easiest and buggiest way to run this program is to boot it up in Thingiverse's Customizer. feel free to open an issue if you find one! Thingiverse Customizer It should be perpetually kept up to date, but there may be some bugs. If you're not technically inclined enough to start programming in OpenSCAD (it's easier than you think), you can look into getting OpenSCAD's customizer working.Д¬ustomizer.scad is auto-generated from the other files in this repository due to a quirk with how OpenSCAD shows customizer settings. It is possible to edit this project with an external editor by checking off Design => 'Automatic Reload and Preview' in OpenSCAD.ДЄll examples below assume you are running the library on your computer with OpenSCAD. For example, this is for a ctrl key on an OEM keyboard: To make your own key, all you need to do is open keys.scad with openSCAD and modify this line:

running git clone if you have git, or downloading this zip and extracting the directory should do it.

Development snapshots are listed in their own section on the downloads page.ДЄfter you have openSCAD installed, you need to download the code and run it. I highly recommend installing the development snapshot, as they generally support more features and are relatively stable.

It's not very hard!ДЇirst, you'll need OpenSCAD. If you are technically inclined at all, this is definitely the best way to run the code.

How to run OpenSCAD Proper (recommended way) I will be backporting bugfixes to the v1 branch, so if you see v1.1.1 or higher, use that instead. If you need the prior version of the code for whatever reason, v1.1.0 is master just before the v2.0.0 merge. If you branched off this repo previously, merging to master will probably break any additions you've made. If you're just starting out, please use master and report any bugs you find. This branch completely rewrote key.scad to be much simpler and faster. Buy me a coffee:, but only if you want to!ДЄs of February 19th, 2022, the v2.0.0 branch has been merged into master.This library is a keycap and keyset construction library for mechanical keyboards, written in openSCAD.
