What you can design
Clickers on a keyboard switch
Your letters, SVG, PNG or shape become the cap over an MX-style switch. Make one clicker, or one per letter that join into a chain.
Easy to take apart
Finger notches and adjustable clearances make the top easy to pull off and put back.
Shape the top and base
Choose the top shape, a push-button or under-the-top base, and an optional skirt.
Print-ready layout
Every piece is laid out flat, with the cap printing face-down so it needs no supports.
Make a clicker
- Create a free DesignerX account and open the Clicker studio.
- Type your text, or upload an SVG or PNG, or pick a shape.

- Check the print layout, then export STL or 3MF.
- Print it yourself, or ask 3DBuildX to print it.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to make a clicker?
A 3D printer and a keyboard switch of the MX type. The switch sits in the base and the printed cap presses it.
The cap sticks or wobbles — what do I change?
Raise the side clearance if it sticks and lower it if it wobbles. 0.4–0.6 mm suits most printers.
Can 3DBuildX print it?
Yes. Contact us at info@3dbuildx.com or visit our shop in Cambridge, Ontario.
Is DesignerX free?
Yes, it is free to use. A free account saves your designs.
