Think the Keychron K8 Pro is too tall? No problem with a 3D printer!

Submitted ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨funkyfourier@lemmy.world⁩ to ⁨3dprinting@lemmy.world⁩

Designed and 3d printed my own custom case for the K8 Pro, since I thought it was too tall and I didn’t want a wrist rest.

How did you take off the battery? The glue is so strong, I was afraid of puncturing the big lithium battery pouch when I was attempting to take the battery out.

  I did not, it is still in its original case. In the new case there is a holder for a cylindrical li-ion battery. Have not dared trying it yet, though, but pretty sure it will work.

I can’t believe I never thought of the possibility of being able to print out your own key caps….

Might be time to finally buy one of these fancy schmancy printers

  I’d go resin for keycaps. I tried it on fdm and while it’s doable it didn’t produce anything I’d want to daily.
