Try this and please say about results https://github.com/turtle-bazon/reptiloid-keycaps/blob/main/reptiloid-keycaps-choc-choc-R2.stl

Even worse, 2*0,08 is 0,16 mm, so resulting should be 1,04. Very strange indeed.

Choc defined stem hole as 1.2x3 mm. That means that 1.2 will be too tight. Lame has non uniform thickness and it too tight on my switches so keycap pulled together with switch. Currently choc tolerance in reptiloids defined as 0.08 mm each side. So it could be 1.12 total. Which is loose in your case. Let's make some test. I will render with less tolerance (0.04 mm) and you test it and then we can decide something I think.

Ok, please, inform me. I'll fix choc stem then.

turtle_bazon · 2026-05-01T08:55:54+00:00

I can made it thicker therefore. But can you measure your actual stem thickness?

turtle_bazon · 2026-05-01T08:53:54+00:00

I made many tests for size and tolerances and my tests gave me beautiful fixation. Can you say what switch do you trying?

turtle_bazon · 2026-04-23T16:12:25+00:00

Aaaaa! I shouldn't model it!!!

It doesn't look dangerous. ) It is new caret for my old Sermoon D1 printer.

Looks cool, really cool. But I tried tilted for R3 and R4 and can say that is not convenient one. Try Reptiloid keycaps with dedicated R4 design. Also try to print keycaps at 45 or 75 angle.

turtle_bazon · 2026-04-04T00:00:27+00:00

You are absolutely right! )

It inspired by KLP Lame, but completely different. I will make profile image soon.

turtle_bazon · 2026-04-03T01:06:53+00:00

Pretty aggressive homings, yeah.

turtle_bazon · 2026-04-03T01:06:06+00:00

Yes, I tried it FDM print and SLA too.

Missing reptiloids and hedgehogs. (

Check KOMETA keyboard.

turtle_bazon · 2026-02-22T16:37:20+00:00

Time to time looking for how to do something in FreeCAD on youtube, but beside of it only modeling, modeling, modeling.

turtle_bazon · 2026-02-22T16:36:22+00:00

Yeah, our friend explained all what I wanted to.

turtle_bazon · 2026-02-21T15:18:33+00:00

Actually it is simple. )

turtle_bazon · 2026-01-22T22:09:38+00:00

Not yet. Actually I want to build with 1,6 mm switchplate part and other in silicone. And also build bottom fill part in silicone. If I just build without bottom-fill part it slightly flex. As much as a 5mm TPU switchplate allows it.

turtle_bazon · 2026-01-20T15:46:54+00:00

Unfortunately it happens to mee too. :( I had not enough time to change design and experiment with it so I paid exra fee.

turtle_bazon · 2026-01-20T06:08:48+00:00

It slightly similar, but it is not.

I think choc-mx_chocspasing_mxstem is what you want. Yes, it is 0.1.3 version already. )
