SA (spherical) keycaps? #3

Closed seanspotatobusiness closed 7 years ago

seanspotatobusiness commented 7 years ago

Is it possible to generate SA style key caps (also known as "spherical" keys)? (e.g. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/36/2e/2f/362e2fda24640449c4568233768b9e87.jpg. Thanks.

Edit: I don't know whether the SA key still is not working or whether I just don't understand what an SA keycap is meant to look like! To me, the SA keycap doesn't look much different from the DSA cap (I guess it's just taller?) so maybe I'm actually wanting a particular subtype of SA keycap (the spherical one)?

Yep! there are currently no examples in the current version of the script, but here's a test file in the history I accidentally committed: https://github.com/rsheldiii/openSCAD-projects/blob/440b777aea5ac9934b1675b4eaec0ad662549934/key/SAtest.stl that file has minkowski rounding on, so it looks a little nicer than the base keycaps do.

using keys.scad you'll need to do something like sa_row(1) cherry() key() to get an SA rounded keycap. using key.scad changing the dish_type to spherical will turn on spherical dishing, but you'll have to supply your own measurements (that's what keys.scad is for)
