The bolt is going to get screwed to the ceiling (or wall) and then the tentacle can be reaching out of the ceiling (or wall) with no visible attachment points. It can also be more load bearing than if it was just taped to the ceiling/wall.

I created a parameterized box in #FreeCAD! According to my market research, this is exactly what the #3Dprinting world was missing, yet another box. 😃 It has smooth rounded corners for a sleek looking design. Get the source at

@FreeCAD I finally nailed down the production process for manufacturing tiny keyboard keycaps 🎉.
These pics are the 1U keycaps. You wouldn't believe how many ding dang materials and processes I went through before landing where I am now but that's R&D, I guess.
As these are 1:3 scale, the largest glyphs are 1.7mm tall and the smallest are 1.3mm. 🙀
The tricky part was figuring out how to produce 83 keycaps for each keyboard with minimal labor and few rejects.
