Here's the first (very) rough draft of my Cherry-compatible mechanical keyboard switch. The .scad is a HUGE mess but I need some folks to print out the test switch and let me know how it works from an assembly perspective. Is it easy enough to put together? Do the tolerances work out for the average printer? Stuff like that.

I'll be working on making it work as an *actual switch* next. Then comes tactile followed up by clicky bits.
Why am I making this? Because it's *going to be awesome*! You'll be able to choose every little detail about your switch and if it isn't exactly the type of switch you want you have only yourself to blame! Because it's entirely parametric! Want more actuation force? Change the spring parameters. Want more travel? Change the TOTAL_TRAVEL variable. Want a HUGE switch for a fist-masher keyboard? Change the size variables! It's up to you!
Of course, it's a work in progress but I'm kind o
