SLA Printer Incoming, CAD wanted!

In my efforts to continue making a glass-clear IBM Model M/F (so I can read my passwords that I keep under my keyboard without having to lift it up!) I am about to receive an SLA printer that can print in glass-clear ink with an claimed accuracy of 50 microns.

So, in the interests of not re-inventing the wheel - does anyone have hoarded away STLs / CAD for any of the following:
  • Model F Barrel.
  • Model M/F key Stems / Caps
  • Model F/M flippers
  • Models of Spherical Keycaps.
  • ... (extra points if the spherical keycaps fit on M/F keystems) ;-)
I'm reasonably comfortable that I can generate these in OpenSCAD if I need to, I'd just rather not need to if someone already has one to hand!~ Of course, if someone wants to draw a few, I could possible be talked into printing a few ;-)

Thanks,

So, it arrived and I have my calibration print done.

First keyboard related print... Model M keycap from thingiverse. 75 minutes to do a plate of them.

This somehow seems appropriate, just ignore the price.

they need a slight tweak for the dimensions, but otherwise pretty darn good!
