Welcome Pack: Script Chain! 🔗 (Patreon)
Content
Hi Everyone! This design is another that got me a little out of my comfort zone (requiring a bit of consulting from Nick as well as some constructive feedback from our amazing group of testers!!) From early on I knew I wanted to combine flexi and clicky parts in some of my models and this was the perfect excuse to do that! I initially came up with the idea for this model as a 'back to school' themed release! I thought these would be super fun to customize as names or initials and throw on a backpack! This model includes all 26 letters in the English Alphabet, the numbers 0-9 and a handful of symbols! We also included bases varying in length from 1 to 16 characters, making them easily customizable! I hope you enjoy these flexi script chains! 🔗
Please let me know if I'm missing any special characters for international names or any other symbols you would like to see!

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 1 inch diameter binder keyring is available which also allows a bead-chain to be used!
There are 80 unique caps and 16 unique bases in this pack! Each base comes with only the 1in diameter binder keyring hole which also works for bead-chains. There are both flat and 3D caps available for these clickers. The 3D caps can easily be printed on a single extruder printer with a single color change!
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 (text)
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!
