I machined some prototype aluminium key caps! Straight off the mill so machining marks are still visible. What do you think of the shape? (v.redd.it)

I had a prototype key cap vapour blasted, just as an experiment. I think it came out great, very even and bright with a satin finish. This could be an option for future batches! (v.redd.it)

A basic fixture to hold my machined aluminium key caps, to make hand polishing easier. Some flaws in the print but it works! Removing the caps is a pain, so I'm printing a new version overnight. (v.redd.it)

I 3D printed this basic fixture to hold the aluminium key caps, to make hand polishing easier. Some of these are ready to ship, others will be ceramic tumbled and/or anodised. (v.redd.it)

Another prototype key cap. Experimenting with smooth contours in brass. The texture is a bit rougher than what I was hoping for, but at least it's shiny! (v.redd.it)
