<p>Remixed from: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4134048">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4134048</a></p> <p>Modified to work with my Havit keyboard. The original design didn't fit; the legs were a bit too close together and short to fit and stay in the switch (I understand this is a slight difference to the low-profile choc switches on Havit keyboards).</p> <h3>Changes:</h3> <ul> <li>Made MX end thicker for tighter keycap fit (no longer comes off with a sticky finger on press)</li> <li>spread and lengthened legs on the choc end for a fuller, closer fit</li> <li><p>minimized footprint of intermediate piece; with a wide profile it couldn't sit flush in the switch<br/> I used PLA initially, which feels sturdy enough, but can confirm PETG works well too (albeit a bit stiffer). The tolerances are really small; I got the best/most consistent results printing with the MX side facing down (with supports) and choc side up. I also printed at 0.05mm, but there didn't seem to be any benefit to doing so. Be careful removing supports.</p> <p>I've also included "Alternate-Cherry-MX-keycap-to-low-profile-Choc-switch" which closer matches the legs on the Havit keyboard keycaps. I was able to print in PLA but the thinner part of the legs were too fragile and snapped when inserting into the switch. YMMV.</p> </li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Parts Summary</h3> <p>Modified to work with my Havit keyboard.
