What is this?

This is a design suite for Fusion360, attempting to make the "stem" part of the popular MX-style 3d-printable using MSLA printers.

Requirements:

  • An MSLA printer.
  • Average experience with printing in resin.
  • Patience to figure out the proper dimensions to achieve the needed tolerances for your printer.
  • Autodesk Fusion 360.

Why?

Good tactile switches are expensive. Let's try changing that.

The pre-configured stem was designed to be printed on the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro using Anycubic Basic Translucent Green resin. The reference model was the stem from a Kailh Pro Purple switch, which already supplies some tactility. But we want more! So let's add more.

Features

  • Fully parametric design.
  • Designed for SLA printing in mind.
  • Nice, mid-heavy tactile bump.
  • Really cheap to print.

Future Plans

Yes, this stem isn't silky smooth like good injection molded ones. yet.

The future plans are to:

  • Make a Moyai-BOX stem [ Planned ]
  • Make Moyai compatible with more switches. Look at my ko-fi to support this! [ WIP ]
  • Organize a GroupBuy [ WIP ]

If you are a keyboard shop capable of 3d printing Moyai and wish to sell prints of the design, please do not hesitate to contact me so a commercial agreement can be made!

Compatibility

Compatible housings tested so far:

  • Kailh Pro
