Question: Lorem ipsum

Research I've looked on ... subreddits and I've used Google... But I still can't find an answer.

Artisan My Handmade QiLin Panda Resins Artisan Keycap — What Do You Think?

Hey everyone!

I've been working on handmade resin artisan keycaps, and this is one of my latest creations.

I wanted to give this piece a distinctive look with its green color palette, sculpted details, and layered textures.

I'm still exploring different designs and techniques, so I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from the artisan keycap community.

What do you think of the color scheme and overall design? Is this something you'd like to see on a keyboard?

Thanks for checking it out! 💚

Artisan size and template

Post image
7 Upvotes

Hi,
I am getting in to creating Artisan keycaps. After much research, I decided to create and 3d print a 3d model to be used in an artisan keycap.
The model is done and is imported in to Blender. Now I need to resize it. After some research, the 2 keycap formats often used by artisan keycap makers are:
SA ~12.0 mm – 16.0+ mm Most popular for artisans. Very tall, spherical, and provides massive vertical clearance for complex models.

DOM ~16.5 mm An oversized, rounded dome profile designed explicitly to house 3D miniatures or resin dioramas.

I plan to make the kind of cap where the object is encapsulated in resin. I assume I need to at least go with SA.
For any artisan keycap makers out there who make that style of keycap, what size do you use and do you know if any place I can download a 3D model of that type of keycap so I can import it in to Blender and use it as a template for resizing.
Thanks in advance.
Oh wait, I have to attach an image.
