## What if I want to customize my keycaps? ## What if I want to customize my keycaps?
There is a bevy of supporting functions to customize your keycaps. You can add a brim to more easily print the stem, switch up the stem support type, make 2x2 keycaps for a POS system, add legends, rotate stems, and more. These functions can be found in `key_profiles/`, `key_sizes.scad`, `key_transformations.scad`, and `key_types.scad` currently, and can be referenced directly in `keys.scad`.

At the base level this library should function well as a key profile design library. by loading up `src/key.scad` (notice no s) you can tweak variables in `src/settings.scad` to prototype your own profiles. There are currently 44 different settings to tweak in `src/settings.scad` including width height and depth of the keycap, dish tilt, top skew, fonts, wall thickness, etc. At the base level this library should function well as a key profile design library. by loading up `src/key.scad` (notice no s) you can tweak variables in `src/settings.scad` to prototype your own profiles.
