YOUR IDEAS. YOUR KEYCAPS.

Custom keycaps.
Designed your way.

Find a colourway you love. Bring a character, a name or a little imagination. Shape it into a single 1u keycap, explore the real 3D model and take it to your printer.

FOR YOUR MECHANICAL KEYBOARD

One small key. A personal detail.

A custom artisan keycap gives a familiar keyboard a detail of your own. Start with a single 1u key: an original sculpture, a name or a raised graphic.

The shell profile shapes the outside. The socket connects to the switch underneath. Calibrate the socket and check your keyboard’s clearances before installing a print.

A sculpture you can rotate. A base you can calibrate.

ONE CONTINUOUS WORKFLOW

The top is yours. The fit is engineered.

01

Bring a sculpture

Use a static GLB, STL or triangulated OBJ. Import the decoration without an old keycap base.

02

Choose the shell

Pick an original straight or tapered 1u shell. The MX candidate socket remains independent of the decorative form.

03

Join and inspect

Fit and crop the model. Background Boolean union, conservative cleanup and mesh checks produce the preview and STL.

04

Calibrate and print

Test the socket samples first, inspect supports in your slicer, and record results in Studio.

WHAT MAKES IT A KEYCAP

Three decisions, kept clear.

01 / SCULPTURE

A real 3D form

The imported mesh supplies the character and surface shape. Texture-only details will not appear in STL.

02 / PROFILE

The shell around it

Profile controls the shell outline and height. The two current profiles are original designs, not branded Cherry, SA or DSA reproductions.

03 / STEM

The socket underneath

The female socket fits over the switch cross stem. Use calibration samples to check material shrinkage and your printer before installation.

ALSO IN YOUR TOOLBOX

Keep the small customisations.

Lettering, SVG relief, engraving and geometric templates remain useful for a simpler key. Studio manages your private projects and printing notes.

VALIDATION STATUS

Know what is ready.

A closed mesh is one step toward a printable object. Slicer setup, fine sculptural details, switch travel and installation still require checks on your printer.

BEFORE YOU START

Custom keycaps, explained.

How do I make a custom 3D keycap?

Open the designer, import a static GLB, STL or triangulated OBJ sculpture, and choose an original 1u shell. Adjust the scale, orientation and bottom crop, build the solid model, then inspect and download STL. Text, SVG relief and engraving are also available.

Can I use a model generated by Meshy or Hunyuan?

Yes. Import a static exported mesh within 20 MiB and 100,000 triangles. Complex models may need reduction or repair first. Surface details must be geometry to appear in STL. Direct AI generation inside this website is not enabled.

Will the STL fit my MX mechanical keyboard?

The original base uses a candidate MX cross socket. Physical fit is not yet verified. Print the calibration samples, account for material shrinkage, and test switch travel and neighbouring-key clearance before using a full sculpted cap.

Is the keycap maker free to try?

Guests can use the basic designer, build parameter models and download STL without an account. Sign in to save private projects and printing feedback. Existing paid image credits and subscriptions are separate from this free modelling workflow.
