TI99 keycap puller tool

Description

This tool is sized to fit TI99/4A keys. It's useful for servicing a TI99 keyboard*. Rather than pry each one up with a small screwdriver, use the custom keycap puller. I am guessing the keycaps are slightly smaller than the usual keycaps (since the TI has a smaller keyboard). I recommend printing in PETG for strength, but PLA may be fine too.

Usage: slide the tool over the key (either vertically or horizontally), squeeze it a little for a tighter grip, then pull up. Sometimes, it helps to tilt the tool slightly.

EDIT- I changed the tool making the hooks a little more exaggerated, so it grabs the key better.

*NOTE- The keyboard I measured for this tool was HI-TEK. It has not been tested with Futaba, Alps, General Instrument, or TI. I didn't even know if they are different.

Tested and confirmed to work (so far) with the HI-TEK, Stackpole, and Mitsumi keyboards. If you test it with another brand, please let me know so I can update this.
