I am sure though, if you spent time polishing and painting the surface it would feel much better. It's still similar plastic after all.
Biggest problem for me, if printed in PLA the + shaped slot eventually gets too loose and the key pops off. Can just print another but it's annoying for sure.
Resin printers would likely have a much nicer out of the printer feel, with much smoother details at that size (for caps with 3D details on top). You could also print a whole set much quicker. Same speed for one cap as it would be for 100 at once.

With an ender 3 it's easy enough, but it does not feel as nice as shot ABS plastic caps. I am sure though, if you spent time polishing and painting the surface it would feel much better.

I think I printed the top at a smaller layer height.
This article is peak Jeff Geerling territory.

Did you make a full backup of that old SCSI device to modern devices? What did you do with all of the extra space as I can only imagine how small the old SCSI device was compared with modern media sizes
Yeah, the drive was 20 or 40 MB, I think. Easily moved it all to an SD card. If anyone cares about old shareware game source code, I used the opportunity of recovering some old code to create a number of disk images (that you can mount from a modern Mac emulator like Basilisk II for example). Here is one (I think you can find the other three or so from this one): https://github.com/EngineersNeedArt/SoftDorothy-Unfini…

The Dorthy soft/Kansas connection makes so much sense after reading the Github repo. The logo was burned into my brain. I was always nervous about starting the game in front of my parents, but it turns out my dad was really good at glider.
