MX keycap stem dimensions. I used these to create my new caps and all these dimensions worked great. The one dimension I had issues with was the outer diameter off the cap stem, not shown here. 5.3mm ended up being a good outer diameter for me. I print them at an angle and the bottom of the stem can get a bit of sag, pressing out on the outer wall of the switch and can actually stick the key.
