@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.
