As before, there's two variants for Chicago Steno, one for when the trackpoint is placed between the first and second columns, left of the homing key (index), and one for if your trackpoint is placed between the second and third columns, right of the homing key (middle).

CS-keycaps-final.zip contains the keys you would use for the rest of the board.

For LPX, you will need two of each key, regardless of where your trackpoint is mounted. for the remaining keys please use the original .stl from the LPX repo

Changes

  • Chicago Steno .stls are now generated with high quality from the upstream code, rather than from prerenders.
  • outer column and thumb Chicago Steno keycaps are all positioned so the rounded edge is down, so no defects are introduced by the stringing at the end of the print.
  • improved printing instructions
  • Chicago Steno keycaps modified on both sides for improved print bed adhesion, to match LPX (stems remain unmodified).
  • Santoku trackpoint position is corrected.
  • individual .stls are available for trackpoint keycaps, not just arrays.

This update shaves off the edge that the Chicago Steno keycap rests on, in order to aid print bed adhesion.

Ready to print LPX and Chicago Steno keycaps to fit around the Santoku's trackpoint. Pre-notched, no grinding necessary.

The LPX file contains a single key to be printed twice. This key fits on opposite corners of the trackpoint, upper left and lower right. Unmodified keys can be used in the other two positions.

There's two variants for Chicago Steno, one for when the trackpoint is placed between the first and second columns, left of the homing key (index), and one for if your trackpoint is placed between the second and third columns, right of the homing key (middle).

The Chicago Steno files contain 4 keys. Once you've opened the file in your slicer, I recommend splitting it into objects and enabling "complete individual objects" or the equivalent to avoid stringing between the individual keys.
