The Sausage Keycap

The Sausage Keycap is an FDM-printable, Cherry MX-switch-compatible, comically-proportioned sausage that you can put on your keyboard.

The profile is based on the DSA profile, but it doesn't look out-of-place when taking the place of a R4 cherry profile keycap.

The stem is raised a bit to allow the keycap to sit lower on the switch. This also means that small support segments are needed. If using PrusaSlicer, it's easy to use the “Paint-on supports” option and smart fill the stem's two bottom faces.

The pictured prints were printed on an Ender 3 S1 Pro with PLA:

  • Layer height: 0.12mm (first layer @ 0.2mm)
  • 2 perimeters
  • Infill: 100% (lower should work fine, but a larger infill makes it feel more solid)
  • Supports needed for the stem
  • No need for a brim or raft

EDIT (27-May-2023): Added STL and STEP files for the sausage alone
