From the results you posted it looks like you have the perfect spherical cut going on for those keys already but I was pleased to find out the path sweeping approach so I thought I would share it.
How are you going to do the key labels? Do you have a laser engraver? I don't know if I will, to be honest. My plan was just to leave them blank to be able to print spare keys if I need them. A laser engraver would probably not be the best to use on 3d printed plastic. :) I have done this recently ...
Hopefully I can get some more time with my own copy of F360 soon!
Thanks!
It’s a really great application. I’ve been designing simple stuff with it for a few years, with a break while my 3D printer was out of order (it still is, but I bought another one ).
Basically it's just object subtraction, but I always found it easier to make a tool than manipulate a surface. I used it on my 2.5" laptop hard drive sled to get lightening holes, and on the floppy standoffs to get the holes and slots. About to upgrade my laptop to 32GB/1TB HDD so I want to get int...
Make an object with a surface that matches the indentation, but it the negative of it. Then use that object as a tool and have it cut the face where the objects intersect. Yeah, I had the thought myself, but I didn't get much further. On the spacebar the top is convex instead of concave, so I would...
So, I started modelling keycaps for the Commodore 64 just for shits and giggles, and I succeeded so well with the general shape of the keys that I thought that I'd finish. My problem is that I can't seem to generate the indentation on the top of the keys. I tried sweeping, but that just errors out s...
Matzes cards reportedly work with the adapter (at least with mine, but as they work the same it should work with yours as well). The problem is that the card doesn't physically fit in the A600. But it should be possible to fork his projekt and make an A600 version of the accelerator. I wish I could...
