π Archived 12/01/24 - You can get this file from Cults3D or MyMiniFactory.-------------------------------------------Hi friends! Growing up in WI, where we experienced all four seasons, sometimes in one day, fall has always been my absolute favorite season, and hiking to view the colors of the changing leaves has been a favorite activity. That hasn't changed since moving cross country to Utah, where I now get fall leaves, but on a mountain side! That being said, I KNEW eventually I had to do a pack representing one of my favorite parts of my favorite time of year and am excited to share my newest pack: Leaf Lovers! This pack contains 6 different shaped leaves and while creating this, I decided to add a pinecone (which started out as an oak leaf gone terribly wrong) and an acorn! I hope all you leaf lovers enjoy my new clicky friends!
Note: these are the first pack with a new base design intended to fit a larger variety of switches! If you come across any switches that do not fit, please let me know do we can continue to modify the design if possible! If these bases are proven out, we will be modifying older designs as time allows! ππ

Like most of my designs, this is a clicky design that requires a mechanical keyboard switch to make the clicky part. These models feature a universal base design which has been tested with many keyboard switches and 99% of them work! 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 8 unique base shapes and 7 unique faces for each base for a total of 56 unique clickers! Each base comes in the standard 7mm, 3.5mm diameter and blank keychain configuration.

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 (Eyes, Mouths, Dimples)
Larger Details (Exterior Eye Details)
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.
β οΈWARNINGβ οΈ - 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! πΎ
