3-D Printed Keycaps

May 25, 2015

I have a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid, a keyboard I love in all ways but one, the keycaps. They are too bold and "gamery" for my tastes, I like more simple, clean designs. I want a new set of keycaps, but I'm having trouble finding some. Could I 3-D Print some? If anyone could give links to websites with cleaner keycap designs of a downloadable 3-D model that would be great. Thank you!

You can 3D print them and with a bit of hand finishing and a protective coat could get them looking nice but IDK if it would be worth the effort/cost vs. just buying a set unless you wanted something truly custom or wanted a talking point. Check out:

or if your not in a rush there's a really nice (IMO) group buy going on over a geekhack at the moment:
