This is a neat project. I printed some switches out when I saw his post on Twitter I believe. It dovetailed into work that I've been doing to figure out replacement switches, buttons, and sliders using DIY 3D techniques vs sourcing through NKK or what not. Primarily for cost since any custom switch design is like $25K for the first 100. As others have pointed out, these keys feel "mushy". And I agree with that. It comes down to the spring constant of printed springs. It is really really hard to make it consistent from print to print. Fortunately springs are actually super cheap and you can make those yourself pretty easily too if you want. So if you back off the "everything has to be printed" mantra just a bit. You can make a more consistent feeling switch. (and less deep which has some benefit on front panel stuff)
