Youtube decided to take 18 hours to upload this, and nuked the videos quality in the process :)

There's a hole in this market, and I'm going to fill it.

In this video we machine our first titanium key cap. In the next video we finish it, and make it pretty colors. It's a MX stem, Cherry profile, Row 4.

Subscribe if you haven't already, like if you're a swell person.

Good luck navigating it though. I've been told time and time again its a disastrous example for both SEO and general UX/UI.

Oh yeah, keycaps are on there as well.

Thanks!

What an awesome video. I might have to try this with the cnc at my school if they have some of these small cutters 😅

I’d never thought of using trace to chamfer a thin slot. Thanks for the tip!

Great machining. Really great you were able to lay out the steps so clearly. Nice work.

I think what you are looking for is a pair of Micrometers lol. Came here from Reddit. Good stuff. Can't wait to make some caps myself.

Found your channel recently, looking good thanks for sharing with us.

Can you please make a HUMAN AFTER ALL titanium keycap that failed to drop in the mass drop?
