- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5079:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5079:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

## Description

If you love to customize, why not level up your DIY keeb-makin' skills and craft your own set of bespoke 'caps with this keycap mold that has three "1U R1" (e.g. single bottom row key) molds and two 1.25U Ctrl Keycap Molds.

Adafruit recommend UV-curable resin, yes you'll need a UV lamp, but it's worth the investment: two-part resin is much messier and hard to cure if the temperature and humidity aren't just right. [Check out this video for a great little tutorial on how to DIY your own custom keycaps](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vygS4jAtY-I&ab_channel=CoolRiceBunnies).

Once molded, the keycaps will fit on any Cherry MX-compatible key switch. Comes with one two-piece mold that has three 1U molds and two 1.25U molds.
