Description

Design

I wanted a Dvorak keyboard. Now there would have been the option to just take existing QWERTY keycaps and just rearrange them. There are two problems: doesn't work for profiled keycaps and the bumps are at the wrong position. So I decided to print some. 

There are four OEM-inspired profiles with concave top surfaces and a space bar with convex top. The blank keycaps can be found here.

As of right now, I only have keycaps for a 65% keyboard. Please let me know if I should also make some f-keys for this set. 

I will also upload a blank keycap set, so please feel free to remix them with different fonts or icons. (I hope that I've uploaded everything correctly, but let me know if there is anything missing)

Printing

Print Orientation

I rotated all of the keycaps by 30° in order to get a smoother top surface. Printing them flat will also work, but might be visible layers. 

Supports

These keycaps will need supports. My goal was to create a keycap surface that was as smooth as possible, that's why I needed to make a compromise here. 

I used standard supports, not tree supports, and set the threshold angle to 40°. Since all of the contact areas are not horizontal, the supports should detach fairly easily.

Quality

The keycaps in the pictures above are printed with 0,08 mm layer height and a 0,2 mm nozzle to get the best results. Function wise, a 0,4 mm nozzle should also be fine, but the letters on the keycaps might lack some detail.

Colours 

I used a filament changer to get bi-coloured keycaps, this is not necessary though. The letters are embossed a little bit (0,05 mm), so they are also slightly visible even when printed mono-coloured.
