I printed some keycaps from nomnom studio in Engineering Resin, but unfortunately the fit was too tight for my keyboard (probably due to insufficient removal of resin from the stem as this part is difficult to wash with ethanol).So I designed this ‘stretching’ tool. Simply insert and give the keycap some time to adjust it's shape ('creep' in technical terms). There is a slight chamfer along the ridges which should help you to insert the tool into the keycap stem easily.I'd recommend printing the v2, which is printed diagonally, as the v1 (printed flat) broke along the layer lines when removing it from a keycap after I had treated about 10 or so of them. I also included a painting handle for these keycaps as a bonus, I found it usefull while airbrushing and painting.Enjoy! Boost MeIf this was helpful consider giving me a boost :)
