✨How to Add Your Own Logo to Our Keycap (Patreon)

Hello makers!

Want to give your keycap a personal touch? In this tutorial, we’ll show you an easy way to add your own logo or design using an SVG file! 🤗

We’re using our Giant Modular Fidget Clicker Toy+Display design to demonstrate the steps in Bambu Studio, but you can also apply this method to our other 3D models. Just adjust the logo’s size, depth, and placement to suit the model you’re customizing.

If you use another slicer, such as Creality Print, the general idea is similar, but SVG support, menu names, and available tools may differ.

Let’s get started! 👇

1. Find a Free SVG Design

Already have an SVG file? You can skip to the next section. 😉

Visit SVG Repo and use the search bar to find a logo, icon, or object you’d like to add to your keycap.

Select the Monocolor filter, then click the design you want to download.

Tip: Simple, single-color designs are a good starting point. They can be easier to import and print clearly, although choosing Monocolor does not guarantee that every SVG will work.

Click DOWNLOAD SVG VECTOR to save the file to your computer.

2. Import the SVG into Bambu Studio

Start with your Giant Fidget Clicker - Keycap (Blank) model open in Bambu Studio.

Right-click the keycap and select:

Add part → SVG → Choose your SVG file

This adds the design as a part of the keycap object.

3. Adjust the SVG Settings

Adjust the logo’s size, depth, and position until you’re happy with the result.

For our Giant Keycap (Blank), use these settings as a starting point:

Depth: 1–2 mm

Size: 100 mm or smaller, adjusted to fit the keycap’s top surface

Operation: Join

These settings are intended for the Giant Keycap. Use a smaller logo when customizing using our smaller keycap models. 😉

4. Assign a Filament Color

In the Process panel:

Open the Objects tab.

Select the imported SVG part.

Click the colored filament box beside it and choose the filament you want to use.

Shortcut: With the SVG part selected, press the number corresponding to your desired filament. In this example, black is assigned to filament 2, so pressing 2 assigns it to the logo. 😉

5. Center the Logo

Select the keycap and SVG parts within the same object, then right-click and apply these two commands:

Align/Distribute → Align left-right center (X)

Align/Distribute → Align front-back center (Y)

Check the result from the top view and adjust the position if needed.

6. Slice, Preview, and Print!

Your customized keycap is ready! ✨

Click Slice plate, then check the Preview to make sure:

The logo appears in the sliced layers.

It connects to the keycap.

The filament assignments are correct.

Small details are visible and printable.

Once everything looks good, you’re ready to print! 🖨️

Troubleshooting

⚠️ SVG Import Errors or Crashes

If an SVG fails to import, appears incorrectly, or causes Bambu Studio to crash, try a different, simpler SVG file.

Some files contain complex or unsupported elements. A Monocolor design is a helpful starting point, but the file’s structure also affects whether it imports correctly.

⚠️ Logo Missing After Slicing

Check that Operation is set to Join and that the logo connects to the keycap’s surface. Slice again and inspect the preview before printing.

⚠️ Overhang Warning

If an overhang warning appears after adding your logo, the design may be too large and extend beyond the keycap’s top surface.

Reduce the logo’s size or adjust its position so the entire design fits within the top surface, then slice again and check the preview.

⚠️ Keycap Doesn’t Click or Return After Pressing

If your printed keycap doesn’t click properly or stays down after pressing, check these two possible causes:

The logo is too thick or heavy. Using a depth greater than our recommended 1–2 mm can add enough weight to affect the keycap’s return. Try reducing the logo’s depth or size.

The switch’s spring is too light. Some light-force switches, including certain silent switches, may struggle to lift a heavy giant keycap. Silent switches vary, so check the specifications of your particular switch.

Consider using a switch with a stronger spring and higher actuation force, such as this one:

🔗 (Recommended) Kailh Box Mechanical Switch Bundle - NAVY🔗 Mechanical Switches "Clicky" Bundle

Tip: Higher actuation force can help, but the switch also needs enough return force to lift the keycap reliably. 😉

Have fun making your keycap your own—we’d love to see what you create! 🤗

In our future tutorial, we’ll show you how to add more detailed logos with multiple colors and layers. For this, we may use a free 3D design tool such as Tinkercad.

Don’t feel overwhelmed—it’s easier than you might think, and we’ll guide you step by step! 😉

Happy printing!Justi-FY Studio
