    • Once the base mold is set, mix a tiny amount of putty to press down into the key. Unseen in this photo: press the putty down right to the pegs of the source key so they are poking holes in the top of the mold.

  6. Creating Apple Lisa KeyCaps, Casting: 手順 5、 1の画像 1

    • Mix a tiny amount of resin as directed on the bottle. Ensure you are measuring accurately. Pour the resin into the base mold until 3/4th filled. Put the top mold on top of the base mold as to cast the connector onto the mold. Unseen in this photo is the correct top mold with the exposed holes on top. Pour liquid resin into the top to fill the holes

  9. Creating Apple Lisa KeyCaps, Fitting: 手順 8、 1の画像 1

    • Assemble the keys to ensure they work before writing the key symbols. If you need replacement springs, I suggest the spring kit (listed in the parts section.) it has 8 useable springs per kit for this kind of project.

No, the results are unfortunately not convincing (sorry to say that). Maybe it is better using a 3D printer for this ...?
