Rhythm Game Artisan Keycaps

This is a two-part, cherry MX stem shine through keycap with arrows based on the skin from osu!mania player Chrubble's V5.55 skin: https://osu.ppy.sh/users/2594280. The stem is taken from u/waderpertader: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/625ec7cb-bcdb-4b84-a3c6-7017b524663b/1x1-cherry-mx-stem-keycap. The interior part is printed with transparent PLA, while the exterior part is printed with black PLA. This allows the arrow to light up the color of the keyboard's LED lights. Default spacing between parts is 0.2mm on both sides, creating a decent amount of friction when printed on my CR-10S. If you don't know how to modify the STL file, you can always sand down the sides or glue the parts together if the spacing isn't right. I suggest printing with the arrow facing up on both parts, which increases support requirements but results in a better-looking print. Setting wall line count to 99 helps on the interior part to make the arrow appear more uniform and pass more light than CURA's default alternating grid.
