DIY Pokémon Keycaps | Epoxy resin
Рет қаралды 128,593
3 жыл бұрынIn todays video I will be making DIY Pokémon keycaps, this is my first time making keycaps like this with epoxy resin, this keycaps are a mix of 3D printing and an epoxy resin.
the printer I used is a Anycubic mono X and some of the designs where made by me and the Pokémon designs I buy them online.
Link to the keycap base: bit.ly/2ORoJcS
Z-butt system: bit.ly/3qWpGyZ
I really like resin keycaps and Pokémon so I try to design this ones and I really hoop you like them.
If I see a good response to this keycaps I will maybe do a give away on one of my next videos.

Hey, great video, love it. :) I started sculpting keycaps 6 months ago, next thing is to buy resin 3d printer and this video is what i needed to see, it is everything i am looking for :D Quick advice for keycaps and resin casting. When u make a keycap for mold casting try to make them a bit more rounded, so pokemons will apear better :D Also try square shape of pokemon stand, it looks more natural. If i were you i'd make a mold of pokemons so i don't need to print and sand them all over for next round :D Z-butt is verry good and when you finish top u just turn it around, sprey some mold release and go for the base of keycap, results are amazing. My english isn't very good but i think you'l understend most of it. Hope i helped a little :D

i mean if you are worried about texture, you could always sand them so they are a bit rougher on top. However this would make clear epoxy foggy
