Cool program keycaps that let you open the program they look like
I wanted to make some hotkey caps that allow you to easily open a program on your computer. It started for Ableton Live, I realized getting my program up was taking so long that I was forgetting inspiration. So I decided to make cool key caps that look like the program they open.
So far I've got
-The basic block key cap (for minecraft block, ableton live, etc)
-The bed keycap (opening minecraft bedwars)
Programming Use AutoHotkey, and a script that looks like this #+m:: ; Shift + Win + M { Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\MinecraftLauncher.exe" }e" }
Manufacture You can FDM print the cad files, but it looks better if you resin print them, create a silicon mold, and fill it with resin again..
Either way you're going to want stickers. You can make them from these papercraft sheets and print them on a cricut. You put the stickers on the sides of the blocks.

And you can print the ableton live logo
My last name is Cherry, and I just made a super awesome keyboard so I wanted to make a cool cherry keycap to put on my new board. I made three keys in total, two centering keys- f and j which look like those letters, and a plain cherry key.
Manufacturing The idea is that you silicon mold a resin 3D Print, and then you fill the mold with real resin.
Print the STL models and cover them in silicon. Then fill the silicon mold with resin and let it harden. You want to use green resin to fill the stem and red for the top. If you mess it up a little, you can probably sand a little bit but you'd need to buff it after.
