     that helped. Still having a bunch of issues, pressure advance also appears to need a different value with nylon?

     @coolbean i could actually use conductive filament too for this print lmao. But couldn't find any conductive/esd nylon

     @snacks someday im gonna 3d print so much nylon and about 90% of it will be alpakka 1.0 shells

     none of those are even close to accepting a keycap, don't even have to try

     @coolbean the keycap mount is one of the pieces that have to be less accurate. If the tolerances for where the slider contacts the case are bad it's gonna be wobbly and bindy as hell

     @coolbean i use kailh choc keycaps, that's also friction fit. With how shit these nylon prints are i'm like half a mm off and the rest of the slider also has glaring issues :mokouDead:

     @snacks i mean whats your keycap mounting solution cause i think a friction fit like mx could just be too tight dimensionally

     @coolbean thought it'd help because the first layer was really fucked and flipping also removed the worst overhang

     @snacks and after that i guess get your slicer settings dialed in

     @snacks ngl youd have a much more interesting stream
     
     this is actually something i considered doing. set up a webcam in my shed and do irl tinkering streams so ppl can criticise my soldering

     @snacks id love to watch a cad stream if only so i can learn how to cad because i have no idea. i want to make a pizzabox style computer case but i dont know how to accurately set the constraints i have exact defined dimensions i need to input for the motherboard ram cpu cooler and so on

     @snacks @dps910 i fucked up and got a 3.5mm jack instead of a 2.2mm jack so my detachable cable mod was a complete loss and i gave up

     @coolbean i use freecad. There you usually just do sketches, extrude them some way, put a sketch on some face of the volume, rinse and repeat and do boolean operations with the resulting volumes

     @snacks yea but i couldnt figure out how to accurately place the constraints in the sketches so i was always like half a milimeter off. idk scale just felt weird

     @coolbean i always try to keep everything centered on the origin of my whole project so i can put constraints to that, but i can see how a really assymetric thing like what you did would be a pain. Idk if there's a way to relate to features of another sketch but that would prob help

     @coolbean @snacks It's all mostly 2D sketches that turn 3D with some operation. Draw how something should approximately look from a perspective and it will be like that after some operation. Nobody sets constraints and dimensions correctly the first time, it's an iterative process all the way to the end.
     
     A computer case is probably one of the harder things to design as someone starting out though. Mostly because of all the standards and dependencies on various dimensions. A RasPi case is a better thing to start with while keeping it computer related. And even that requires some measuring, tolerances and whatnot. I started with shafts, bolts and mounting brackets for example.
