This is a remix of Ohagel's Cherry MX key caps. I made the surface concave and sloped and reshaped the stem into the traditional + shaped stem since the original design had considerable X-axis wobble when testing a printed cap.

I've test printed a derivative variant of this design and confirmed it works with Gateron, Kaihl, Cherry MX, Greetech, and Razer mechanical switches.

[Update 7/6/2017]
Uploaded a modular variant of this file where the stem and cap are separate. This allowed me to create more elaborate designs and print without supports. The cap and stem model are keyed so that they will slot right into each other. The idea is to print the stem in a transparent material, then hollow out a design on the cap so that the light will shine through (with a backlit keyboard of course). I then use super glue, which probably isn't required, but recommended.
