<p><strong>Why use these?</strong></p><ul><li>I frequently see single piece 3d printed button caps. The issues with printing button caps as a single piece is that the legs are printed in a weak orientation and break off very easily. &nbsp;If the leg breaks off in the keycap it is a royal pain to get the broken leg out.&nbsp;</li><li>This design separates the legs from the button caps so that the legs are now printed in the strongest orientation and are much less likely to break. Once you glue the legs into the caps, they will feel very strong.</li></ul><p><strong>Instructions</strong></p><ul><li>The legs should be able to fit into the slots into the button caps with no/very little sanding.<ul><li>Depending on how well your printer prints to tolerance, you will need to print either the loose or tight tolerance pieces.</li></ul></li><li>add a little bit of superglue into the slot on the cap then put the leg into the slot</li></ul><p><strong>Printing Tips</strong></p><ul><li>The legs (both loose and tight tolerance versions) should be around 1.2mm thick after printing.</li><li>Tight tolerance leg part that fits into the keycap measures 3.05mm wide</li><li>Loose tolerance leg part that fits into the keycap measure 2.9mm wide. &nbsp;</li><li>If your printed parts don't fit into the keycap, please measure your part. &nbsp;If your part is measuring too big, try reducing your flow% or sanding it down a little bit. &nbsp;</li><li>My printer prints pretty nicely to tolerance, but I realize that not all printers are the same, so if you need something, it is actually quite easy for me to modify the files, so just ask.</li></ul><p><strong>Misc Notes</strong></p><ul><li>These were designed for <a href="https://github.com/jfedor2/flatbox">jfedor's flatbox</a> and come in 22.5 and 28.5 mm diameters. &nbsp;</li><li>2022-10-27 - added 24 mm diameter versions.</li><li>If you need any other diameters, just let me know and I can easily make them for you.</li></ul>
