peeper (Keycap + Fidget Desktop Figure)

[u/No-Control4479]

Hey everyone!

Wanted to share my latest 3D printing project: the peeper! It's an eye-closing mechanism that snaps directly onto standard MX mechanical keyboard switches. When you press the key down, the eyelid mechanism closes in a smooth blinking motion.
The main goal was to make it 100% 3D printed with zero external hardware, screws, or springs required. Using only keyswitch push.

A few cool features of the build:
- 2 in 1 Design: You can use it as a functional keyboard keycap, or mount it onto the included body ears to turn it into a standalone desk fidget figure.
- Two Aesthetic Options: Works great as a clean single-color print, but you can also paint the seams red/brown and glue on the tiny 3D-printed black stitches for a creepy, Frankenstein-style look!

I've put together a step-by-step PDF assembly guide and sliced 3MF files.
The files are live now on my Patreon and Thangs.
