How does one make a keycap? Was it made a home or machined ?

Thanks for your interest in my keycap! To answer your question, this keycap is actually handmade using resin. The process involves creating a sculpt, making a silicone mold, and then pouring resin into the mold. It's not a 3D printed keycap that's painted like a lot of others out there. Let me know if you have any other questions!

What's wrong with 3D resin printed caps?

There's nothing wrong with 3D printed keycaps! My keycap is just made using a different method, with resin casting, which I find results in a more durable and vibrant product. Each method has its own unique advantages and I'm always exploring new techniques to create even better keycaps.
