Keyboard Shield / Mask for Korg Volca FM (and Volca Keys maybe)

I found the touch keys on the Korg Volca FM to be very sensitive, making it hard to play chords without accidentally touching unwanted notes. This shield / mask provides some tactile separation of the touch keys while it's still possible to swipe across multiple keys. It sits in place but you can use double-sided tape in the areas between the black keys for a more secure attachment. I designed it to be 1mm high. You can scale it down or up to taste in your slicer (z-direction) if the keys feel too recessed or not recessed enough. The chamfered corners of the whole thing make it possible to print it on small beds when rotated by 45 degrees. I suggest using the "ironing" option in Cura which provides a very smooth top surface. Use a color of your choice to make your Volca more individual. Might also fit on Volca Keys. UPDATE: I made a v2 version which is thinner but has higher and more rounded bumps in between the keys. First photo shows v2, second photo shows v1.
