πLooking for the best 3D printing material for custom keycaps?
If you're debating between nylon and resin, this real user test might give you the answer.
Rasmus recently compared four black SLA materials from JLC3DP for 3D-printed keycaps:
PA11-HP Nylon, Imagine Black Resin, JLC Black Resin, and Black Resin.
Here are the actual hands-on results π
β¨ Most durable: PA11-HP Nylon
β Strong, reliable, slightly textured, perfect for daily use.
β¨ Deepest black & most premium look: Imagine Black
β Stunning finish, but fits tighter on switch stems.
β¨ Closest to standard keycap feel: JLC Black Resin / Black Resin
β Smooth, comfortable, and very βOEM-like.β
If youβre planning to print your own keycaps,
This comparison will save you hours of guesswork and failed prints π€β¨οΈ
π‘ Bonus for makers:
JLC3DP is offering $25 off $100 on nylon custom 3d- printed keyboardsβperfect if you want to try PA11-HP.

π© What's the next step after metal 3D printing? Surface finishing.
Metal parts can be more challenging to grind and polish than parts made from many other materials. That's why JLC3DP offers polishing as a post-processing option.
With Binder Jetting (BJ), the as-printed surface is already relatively fine. Polishing can further improve smoothness and create a brighter, glossier finish.
The images show polished JLC3DP BJ-316L stainless steel parts with surface roughness values ranging from Ra 0.8-2.4Β΅m, suitable for a wide range of end-use applications.

Sanding vs. No Sanding β Is the Difference Really That Big? π
For SLA resin parts, no sanding doesnβt mean rough.
β¨ Sanding
β Removes support marks
β Cleaner surface finish
β Best for display & painted parts
β‘ No Sanding
β Shorter lead time
β Lower cost
β Great for testing, prototypes & internal parts
Better appearance β Sanding
Save time & cost β No Sanding

9600 vs. 9000HE β Looks Similar. Performs Very Differently.π
π€ 9600: Cooler white, cost-effective, great for frequent iterations & appearance validation.
πͺ 9000HE: Warmer white, higher strength & toughness, ideal for functional testing.
Its elongation at break and impact strength are more than 2Γ those of 9600.
