Mechanical Keyboard - SiCK-68
Made by cfcheung, uploaded
Description
Printed with Prusament Galaxy Black, with the engraved logo.
Switches are Gateron Yellows lubed with Tribosys 3204
Keycaps: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32889404103.html
I added some 3mm neoprene foam on the inside of the case, though I don't really notice a difference in sound. Most of the sound dampening comes from lubing the switches and the stabilizers.
I also had to add a small spacer to one of my rubber feet for the keyboard to be level.
This is my first custom mechanical keyboard, nice design!

Notes:
The sockets for the switches came out a little too loose, so removing the keycaps pulled out the switches with it. I put two layers of electrical tape on the left and right sides of each socket to pad it out, most switches now fit in tightly enough to stay in when removing the keycaps. This leaves me with the option to replace the switch if I need to since it isn't permanently glued in.
That mechanical keyboard looks awesome. Nice work!
Impressive!
Great looking build! That filament looks awesome.
Weird the sockets came out small. For all of my builds so far, they come out too tight and I have to trim them a bit with a Razer. I guess that's just printer to printer.
o-rings on the keys also help a bit with sounds. Just like the neoprene, its not much, but all together it makes a difference.
You're probably over-extruding a very small amount so the sockets are too tight. The author of this post is probably under-extruding :)
There's a REALLY great extrusion test print and calibration excel file you can use to plug in the measurements from the print and it calculates the perfect extrusion multiplier for your setup: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1622868
rather than calbrating using extrusion multipliers you would be far better off doing a proper estep calibration and hard setting your esteps to the correct distance.
Bare in mind even the amount of torque on the extruder grub screw, the wear in the teeth, variance in the machined parts, the resistance in the bowden etc... All of these things make small impact on the estep calibration but add it all together and you can have quite the dramatic shift.
Thank you for the suggestion, I will give it a go!
