Wanted to solve my two biggest problems with the moonlander mk1.

Cable ties:

Despite using velcro ties, I did not like how untidy the cable management was. I took inspiration from my old jabra earbuds, which use a similar design to do very clean and easily adjustable cable management.

Cable ties were printed with PLA. No supports needed. Tolerances work on my machine, ymmv.

Thumbscrew caps:

Though I like how you can adjust the keyboard's tilt, the system has a tendency to loosen over time, plus it is a pain to set up when you move it, as it requires pulling out an alan key (which I think I recently lost, actually).

It also just feels silly to pull a key out every time. Instead, I designed some caps that perfectly fit over the ends.

I printed these with a sunlu abs-like resin. Time will tell how it will hang on, but thus far I am very happy with my decision, especially since I feel like I get a finer feedback on when it's tight enough vs possibly overtightening it and damaging it, something that I have come close to doing several times with the alan key.

I did print with supports in the resin printer, using the automatically generated ones by chitubox. Printed solid for extra durability, though it is so small I don't think hollowing would've worked regardless.

On my machine the thumb screws come out with a pretty much perfect press fit. They're also softer than the screw itself, so if you start overtightening it starts either spinning in place (not easily) or trying to come off, which is perfect for me.

Note that the manufacturer has been clear in stating that the thumb screws should not be printed in PLA, and I will go further and say filament printing probably won't work in general for it!

Here is the message from ZSA, the manufacturers, about it:

"The key is [...] so dependent on printing settings — with an FDM printer you won't get a rigid enough result (at least not with PLA) and people may start messing up their threads [...]"

Printer beware.

Hope this can help other 3d printing Moonlander enthusiasts.
