Supporter Exclusive: ☁️🌩️🌞⭐🌛 Sky Buddies! (Patreon)

Hi Everyone!

I am SO EXCITED to share this pack with you all! We had an initial suggestion for clouds in our Discord followed by quite a bit of support for such a pack! We thought it could be fun and I started designing away. While designing clouds, I started reminiscing about how technically, the catalyst of my relationship with Nick was the day Nick tried to restart a conversation with me by asking "How's the weather...?" So being all sentimental, I started designing the weather! Once I had clouds, storms, and suns I couldn't resist adding some of their celestial friends, the moon and stars. This 1st Sky Buddies Pack consists of single clicker clouds and celestial friends with a variety of faces! These were so much fun to make and I am beyond happy with how they turned out! I hope you enjoy!

Yes, somewhere in my spiel, I did say 1st pack... Stay tuned for more sky buddy variations? ☁️🌩️🌞⭐🌛

Like most of my designs, this is a clicky design that requires a mechanical keyboard switch to make the clicky part. These models have been tested with Kailh Bronze, White, Jade and White V2 clickers and the White clickers are my preferred option. I have an up to date list of verified clickers with links you can find HERE. This design should be compatible with most MX style keyboard switches, however, the two metal contacts on the bottom of the switch must be clipped off flush (or folded over) to ensure the switch seats properly in the base (this is a destructive process).  A 7mm keyring file is included as well as a larger, 3.5mm diameter keyring hole to allow a beaded chain to be used!

This pack contains a lot of stuff so lets see if I can write it all out correctly. There are 8 unique cloud caps, 3 sun caps, 3 star caps and 1 sleepy moon cap. There are 3 unique cloud bases, basic cloud, lightning cloud and double lightning cloud! There is only one unique base for the sun, star and moon respectively. Each base is configured with the standard 7mm keychain, 3.5mm diameter keyring hole for bead chains, and a standard base with no keychain. I did try to do something a little different with these files and saved everything as a .3mf so please let me know if you have any feedback on this new file format!

3D Printing Settings:

Layer Height: 0.2mm (recommended)

External Perimeter (Outer Wall): 0.33mm (recommended)

Scale: 100% (Everything is modeled with tight tolerances and should not need to be resized)

Orientation: Print the caps face down so you have a smooth surface for clicking! (recommended for flat)

NOTE: I've found the best way to get the most crisp details on these clickers is to start with the smallest details first and work up from there. Here is the order I recommend after LOTS of trial and error:

Small Detail (pupils, sunglass glare)

Larger Details (Sunglasses, outer eyes, mouth, cheeks, hat)

Everything else (base colors)

I've also found hitting the print with a heat gun right before the main body color starts printing will eliminate any little strings that can cause blemishes on the final design.

⚠️WARNING⚠️ - This pack requires very good bed adhesion to ensure the best possible results for your finished clicker. It is recommended to clean your bed with soap and water before printing or whatever your specific printer manufacturer recommends for a deep bed clean!

Stay Pawsitive! 🐾
