This is a 3D printable model made with SolidWorks that works to replace the cylindrical sliders (or plunger) of Topre switches on HHKB. The idea was first come up with Matt3o, and then the NovaTouch implemented the design in their products.
This model made several improvements to [Matt3o's beta STL design model][1]. The base stands were made thinner to prevent stucking the rubber dome while pressed. The base was made exactly the same as the original Topre's to retain the touch feeling.
If you want to support this work, you can buy from my [Shapeways shop](https://www.shapeways.com/shops/axiom-1) where I make 10% fixed profits, or you can donate to [my PayPal](https://paypal.me/naiwei) or BitCoin wallet: 14VSt78bfgMx9pWXV9qbMMsxter7KYHCRd. However you are always welcome to print and use this work for personal use without paying me.

I also made an extra 2.25u plunger model for left Shift and Enter keys.
![Plunger 2.25u](/IMG/Plunger%202.25u.jpg?raw=true "Plunger 2.25u")
In addition, you can use 6.25u MX spacebar with these stabilizers.
![6.25u Spacebar Stabilizers](/IMG/6.25u%20Stabilizers.png?raw=true "6.25u Spacebar Stabilizers")
If you have centered stem 6u MX spacebar, you can use these stabilizers.

In case you couldn't buy a PBT Topre 6u spacebar, I also made a model
for you to 3D print it.

## Compatibility Notes
Since different manufactures may have different specifications in their keycap dimensions, current design may not fit perfectly on every keycap out there. Hence hereby you are welcome to provide any compatibility results to me.
* [The Amazing Chocolatier Custom SA Keycap Set][8] - **Compatible**
* [87U with PuLSE SA Keycap Set][9] - **Wobbly 2.25u** ([Issue #1][10])
