Description

These are small pieces with fine details, ensure that your extruder is properly calibrated for best results

Printing:
1) Ideally, 0.3 nozzle or finer, if using a 0.4 nozzle set line width to 0.33 (or thinner if possible), I printed mine using this setting
2) Rotate keycap 45deg and set seam to back or rear, in Prusa slicer this works out really nice and the seams are aligned nicely and almost invisible, Cura is a bit different
3) 0.12 or 0.15 layer height 
4) Use your slicer's change filament functionality to change to a different color to highlight the characters, give it at least 3 layers, 4 is ideal
5) No supports, stem has built in support
6) Iron the top most layer, to fill in tiny gaps
7) Print a few and test for best settings, test onto a switch, it should be a bit snug

Post Processing:
1) Snap off built in support on the stem
2) Optional: to even up the top, fill the spaces with clear CA glue, I used medium viscosity, thin is too runny
3) Optional: sand top until even
4) Optional: apply a few coats of clear spray paint, choose the sheen you like, matte or satin are nice

Enjoy!
