Simple keyboard cap/cover for the Sinclair QL to keep the dust out of the keys. The cover fits snug on top of the keys only and not the whole machine as that is way too large for any normal or even large FDM printer, so I think this is a good compromise.
Even though the design only covers the keys it still needs to be split into two parts. In order to minimise the visibility of the join I've put a pattern on the top which shows the outline of the keys it is covering. I've suppled two versions of the print, one that can be glued together and has some overlapping parts to support this, and one that will just push together and will remain in two separate parts.
I've added some photos of the keys coloured in to show what can be done if you have a printer that supports multi-colour printing. I've chosen red and white to match the QL basic split screen, but you can obviously pick any colours you want. I use the Bambu Studio's paint function to do this.
For print settings I use 0.2mm standard on my Bambu P1S and supports for the glue rhs part, all other parts do not require supports.
