Dell keyboard leg replacement (see summary for model numbers)

thingiverse

I'd like to thank kukulo2011 (<a>www.thingiverse.com/thing:3605569</a>) for generously providing CAD design files along with STL files, making it simple for me to modify the protruding pegs. I increased their length to 13.66 mm (up from 13 mm), and decreased their diameter to 2.8 mm (down from 3 mm). This adjustment makes them more similar to the originals, and I find that they fit better now. These redesigned legs are compatible with DELL keyboard models: SK-813, SK-8115, SK-8135, DJ745, TH836, GM952, N6250, and DJ425. <b>How I Printed</b> The small size and sloping contours of this design made it a bit tricky to print. Initially, I overheated the first couple of prints, but then I opted for the lowest temperature at which the layers still adhered together. To ensure success, supports are necessary, and they should be placed close to the part, especially around the fillet on the back of each leg, where they need to print nicely. Additionally, I printed a tall skirt (equivalent in height to the print itself) around the legs to dissipate heat effectively.
