Would love to see a resin casting video! It's a fun hobby and I'm happy you're sharing it with everyone :)
This is awesome, the helping hands and wall thickness tips were great!
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!
Yees make more videos of this please c: love it 💜
Would def watch a resin tutorial! This was a great intro into sculpting with clay. “Bake-n-Bond sounds like bacon” hahahahahaha
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! :)
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.
Tiny thank you!! Great video. I’d love to see the resin process
Was 100% helpful for a newbie like me! thankyou so much

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
Quality content! Loved your tiktok and I have been inspired to make my own custom keyboard. You are great :)
Answered a lot of questions I didn't know I had, thank you.
Would love to you how you create the key caps using resin! Looking forward to a video about that!

Could you briefly explain what you use different modeling clay brands for and why? I’ve ordered some, have a small first project in mind.
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?
Resin casting video pls!
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
you really remind me of my friend briea, NOT ANYTHING BAD DW ! but she would def do something like this
Hi! Do you put some adhesive primer on the keycap before you start making that clay art on it?
pls do resin casting!
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
please do a video on resin keycaps!!!
its to helpful
Is your clay the same as normal everyday clay you can buy in artisan stores?
tutorials! ❤️
did you bake the molder too together with the clay??
do you put the whole keycap in the oven with the sculped piece?? or does it melt? 🥺
New here. Wanna make and try doing these also. 👌👌
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)
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💖
Whats the difference between Sculpey Primo and Primo Accents? Also is FIMO Professional good for keycaps (baking too)
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 thought the keycap would melt haha
earned a subscription from me
how do u get the clay off the cap before you bake it? you cant bake the plastic cap right??
What type of clay do you use?
would it be possible to fill a mold with resin and call it a day?
ok but dont these melt in the oven or do u pop them off some how?
How did you make the silicon molds plz????😭
Can you make these with Fimo
CAN YOU USE AIR DRY CLAY TO MAKE THE KEYCAP
will the keyboard work
Can super glue be used to connect the keycap and mold?
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?
Where can we buy them
tiny numba 1
im just tryna make a cool escape key
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!
Can i use any clay?
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?
can you use microwave oven for baking?
Do you put the keycap base straight into the oven?
Yep!
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
Time to make a flamingo space bar.
Suggestion. Add also an Amazon referral link for Europe so we can also support you by buying from your link! =)
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.
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
