very good job! to print keycaps with fdm printer is not easy I did a lot of experiments and, if it can help, I've found out the best results were printing DSA at 45° degrees (in this way both the top and the sides result silky enough)

Did these at 0.1mm layer height. The g20 was at 0.2 I think. The corners are barely noticeable. Might try the 45° trick on the next set. Did you use supports? I ran these skirt only.

yes supports and raft, but 0.16 layer height

Also modded the files to use M2.5 screws since I didnt have any M2s. Oled face plate also needed adjusting to fit a slightly different mounting profile and take M2.5 heat set inserts.

Keycaps look like they belong in Factorio lol. Some of the keycaps look mighty wobbly though... is that due to the material used or is it the switches?

The 2u need to be reprinted with stabilizer stems. Also since stems have some pretty fine detail they aren't all perfect, had some stringing that needed cleaning up, but the keys are pretty solid on the switches.

The keycaps look like rubber/silicone makes me cringe to imagine that texture on my fingers while trying to type

They are pla with a little texture. Considering making the XDA model completely flat so I can iron them.

3d printed as much of my first keyboard as I could. Even tried sequential prints for caps with a 9/16 success rate! Grey is pla, orange is pla+. Cherry MX Reds, Knockoff pro micro w/ qmk, 128x64 oled, XDA keycaps with a single G20 for fun. Design by Joe Scotto, ScottoGame on github
