Summary

A simple typewriter style keycap inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:417509 (which was too big to fit on my keyboard).

The big issue I've had with all the other cherry keycaps is that the stem won't fit on the switches without a ton of cutting and filing. In this design, the walls of the stem are so thin that the printer ignored them and just printed 4 posts which fit perfectly. Win.

The key in the picture is printed with ABS. I have printed it with PLA as well with good results. The ABS fits a little more snug on the switch, which may be due to shrinkage.
