+Today I dropped some new caps in the porta-john.  I need to do a bunch of
+posts on zmk and my journey building the porta-john, I've been rocking it for
+at least two weeks now pretty solid and I am absolutely loving it.  More on
+that later.
+
+## KLP-Lame-Keycaps
+
+The model of the caps are
+[KLP-Lame](https://github.com/braindefender/KLP-Lame-Keycaps) by
+[braindefender](https://github.com/braindefender) , they are super rounded and
+smooth.  They look really good on camera and feel good to the finders.

+
+I printed these at home on my ender3 s1 pro with a black and purple silk
+filliment.  I printed all 42 at once using a [[knock-and-sweep]] technique.
+They do have just a bit of a rough texture that you can feel on your figertips.
+I printed these on super quality .12mm layer height, while my last set was
+printed on draft quality .32mm layer height.  They look crazy different in
+print quality with the lines of the new caps barely showing, the feel isn't
+nearly as drastic.
+
+## The Result
+
+Check out the final shots as I set up the porta-john with these sweet caps.
