My wife wanted a pumpkin clicky fidget for her elementary school class. I have a box of knockoff blue cherry mx key switches, and found the model that she saw online. Unfortunately, the included key cap wouldn't work with these off-brand switches, so i designed a replacement that sits lower on the key stalk, and uses a round stem instead of the problematic square one, resolving the issue and making the pumpkin fidget work properly. The edges in the model are filleted, I just dont have the tall version printed with a fillet so couldnt take a picture of it.

TL;DR:
This is a 10mm tall Cherry MX compatible key cap, that is omni-directional- meaning all 4 sides are angled evenly. The short model the stem inside is 1.5mm up from the bottom edge of the key, so it sits lower on the switch. The tall model the stem is flush with the bottom edge.







These should be reoriented to print face down. 0.2mm layer height works great, PLA/PLA+, no supports or anything.
