Resin Teflon Mod #14

What I noticed is the friction with resin prints. First I decreased the diameter of the stem and I glued a layer of teflon tape onto the stem. Then I applied some dielectric grease. It now works smoothly with resin prints!

you may notice the need to reapply the grease from time to time. I find Dielectric tends to gum after a period of time.

If you use the liquid form of Super Lube "Multi-use synthetic oil" (with Syncolon/PTFE part 51004) you can just drizzle it on there really quickly and it lasts a couple weeks. When it stops working that's when you know it's time to clean those keycaps off in the sink with a scrub brush + soap and water. That sink cleaning process also removes all the grease/lube so it'll need to be re-applied. With actual grease you kinda have to "paint it on" with a brush but with the liquid stuff you just squeeze a drop on to each switch all in one go while it's flipped upside down and it takes like 2 minutes to do a whole keyboard (which is like, nothing haha).

BTW: When I say, "when it stops working" I don't mean, "when keys get bindy" I mean, "why it stops having a big impact on the sound" hehe. They should never get bindy once the lube is applied unless you use dish soap to wash all the lube off 👍
