Would love to see a resin casting video! It's a fun hobby and I'm happy you're sharing it with everyone :)
Thank you for this tutorial, I've been a long time follower and have recently considered getting into the craft. Very grateful for such a streamlined tutorial from one of the best!
This is awesome, the helping hands and wall thickness tips were great!
A few moths back I tried to do this clay method but I didn’t do much research and I did it with ABS plastic in the oven the warped a bit but it was a great experience because it led to me learn so much more about key caps
Yees make more videos of this please c: love it 💜
Tiny thank you!! Great video. I’d love to see the resin process
This is an awesome video! Hope to see another video for resin artisan tutorials!
Thanks for the video Tiny! and great job with the editing! :)
Was 100% helpful for a newbie like me! thankyou so much
Yeah definitely would love a resin casting video!
Would love to you how you create the key caps using resin! Looking forward to a video about that!
From the D&D community: if you don't have the helping hand tool or have no means to buy one yourself, grab yourself some sticky tack/blue tack, stick it onto the stem, put that whole thing on a wine cork or other small thing you can hold onto. Enjoy!
Thanks, Tiny, I didn't know if it was safe to chuck the whole PBT keycap into the oven with the rest of the clay.
I'm happy u made the video in the end!! I enjoyed it and am I new subscriber bc of it!! Hurray!! Ty for all the info and helpful links!!

Yes I wanna learn I try but I failed at it and got lazy afterwards but I do enjoy these videos , I want to also know what did you do to the subways spacebar . And can you do video about liquid clay plz
Woow She's so pretty n_n
hi! thank you so much for this ^_^ just would like to ask if you can use an epoxy resin hardener as an alternative for the uv resin hard?
pls do resin casting!
Hi! Do you put some adhesive primer on the keycap before you start making that clay art on it?
Hello! Which keycap mold do you recommend for those of us that are just starting out? Which are the most popular? I'm like neeeewbie! Lol
its to helpful
please do a video on resin keycaps!!!
tutorials! ❤️
New here. Wanna make and try doing these also. 👌👌
you really remind me of my friend briea, NOT ANYTHING BAD DW ! but she would def do something like this
Holaa,me encantaría saber cómo se llama o cómo puedo conseguir la base de metal en la qué haces los diseños,es como una especie de plantilla en forma de tecla,encantada con tu trabajo💖
Is your clay the same as normal everyday clay you can buy in artisan stores?
did you bake the molder too together with the clay??
Whats the difference between Sculpey Primo and Primo Accents? Also is FIMO Professional good for keycaps (baking too)
do you put the whole keycap in the oven with the sculped piece?? or does it melt? 🥺
Thank you so much for saying how long and how high you bake the keycaps at. I'm struggling with mine, and they're pbt. I've baked them at 275 and they still warp. They don't melt, but they warp, and idk how to fix that. I put them in the oven at 275 for 15 minutes. Does anyone have advice??

I love your tiktok videos and also what keyboard did you use at the start?
Thanks! And the one around 1:07 is an Anne Pro 2!
@@tinymakesthings Thank you, this will help a lot 😃
@@tinymakesthings another thing, are the key caps for the board pbt?
@@oorange7861 yes, they are!
What type of clay do you use?
Can you make these with Fimo
I thought the keycap would melt haha
Hi! I really wanted a transparent keycap so that I can custom my own keycap. the thing is I can't find a transparent PBT keycap. the ones I found locally was a Transparent ABS keycap. I think I'll stick with Air dry clay. Will it stick normally to the keycap or should I put some glue if I'm going to make one to make it stick?
Hiii, quick question if you already tried using airdry clay... Did it work nicely or nahh?
would it be possible to fill a mold with resin and call it a day?
how do u get the clay off the cap before you bake it? you cant bake the plastic cap right??
Can super glue be used to connect the keycap and mold?
How did you make the silicon molds plz????😭

Intro editing and the whole video in general is top tier, but get some more lighting.
Nice video anyways :)
Thanks! and HAHA yes, I'm trying to find a better place to film in my house (I should have just used my streaming setup but the background is kinda messy)
ok but dont these melt in the oven or do u pop them off some how?
CAN YOU USE AIR DRY CLAY TO MAKE THE KEYCAP
will the keyboard work
Where can we buy them
Can i use any clay?
can you use microwave oven for baking?
im just tryna make a cool escape key
i'd love to make custom keycaps but i dont actually know what my keycaps are made of. I've tried searching it but i dont think i found anything helpful. Does anyone know what keycaps the "g512 carbon" keyboard has?
question. i want o glue a figure to my pbt keycap. which glue would you recommend?
my figure isnt clay tho. its like a pokemon figure
Do you put the keycap base straight into the oven?
Yep!
Suggestion. Add also an Amazon referral link for Europe so we can also support you by buying from your link! =)
this may be a dumb question but, can air fryer be used to "bake" the keycaps?
Not a dumb question! So air fryers are convection ovens (I think) and that's what I use! So theoretically it should work. However, I think you may have to use some sort of way to protect the clay from being heated directly (i.e. wrap the clay/keycaps in aluminum foil) because my convection oven burns the clay if there's not another layer between the heat and the clay!
@@tinymakesthings thank youuu
do you stream too? you should twich ill watch
Why That Much Peapole Didn't Subscribing to You? :c
Ur Very Good UA-camr!
(Because You Making Best Tutorials!)
hi how can i prevent the keycap from melting its stem on the bottom ??
Like I mentioned in the video, if the keycap is fully made of PBT, it shouldn't melt at the temperature of baking clay. So the cap you're using is either not PBT (fully) or you're baking at too high of temperature.
Time to make a flamingo space bar.
can i bake my cap in an air fryer?
PLEASE RESIN
Wow...43 comments and none of it has any answer nor heart?
Are you willing to sell a keyboard with with ur custom keycaps that you made ?
Buy a litte charm and stick it with a glue on a keycap ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
