Summary

Simple keyboard cap/cover for the ZX Spectrum Next to keep the dust out of the keys. The cover fits snug on top of the keys only as my printer is not big enough to print a full case dust cover so this was a good compromise.

The design has matching lines to those on the Next case and a mirror of the rainbow stripes on the right hand side. The stripes are printed separately in the correct colours and glued in place.

I've added some photos with examples on how you can add logos to the design if you have a compatible 3D printer. If you want a logo this is easily achieved using a slicer that supports dual colour printing. Just add the logo to the print bed as well as the dust cover, move the logo to where you want it and change the colour. I use Bambu slicer to do this.

For print settings I use 0.2mm standard on my Bambu P1S and needed to rotate the design 45degrees so it fits on the bed. I also moved it up 1.5mm to prevent it clashing with the purge line.
