Hi! do you have the dimensions of the switch? of any of the parts
When I print it, the keycap mount is much smaller than the mount in the stem, also the housing of the switch doesn't fit a plate so if you have those specifications I would be very usefull to alter my parameters

The default switch body width/length is 18mm. If you're having trouble fitting things together it's likely that your printer isn't printing dimensionally accurate prints. It's an easy thing to fix: Just calibrate your esteps (just search it up; there's a million tutorials).

I designed the switch body so that it would fit in a standard Cherry MX plate cutout. If your switches don't fit in one then your printer is probably waaaaaay off in terms of dimensional accuracy.

thanks for the answer! I'll take a look on my printer calibration parameters and try again
