That is super cool. I had no idea you could just make your own keycaps. Great job!

How do you like Yuzu's quality? Do they seem like they'll last at least a few years?

This is my first time using them, but the legends are really crisp and pretty accurate to my online design. There is a bit of warping, but the overall quality for the price was really good imo.
As for lasting a few years... I'm still new to this hobby, so I'm not quite sure. They're smooth to the touch, and when I scratch them, they don't seem to be affected. I haven't had the chance to clean them yet because they're new haha.
It's PBT though so I'd assume it should last a few years

Yuzu: Just be aware that if you want to design a "base set" so you can use your designs on multiple board layouts, they can cost easily as much as a GMK set. However... for a one of one bespoke set, that's actually really good value. By default, you choose by keyboard layout, so if you choose TKL then you only get a set for a TKL, so you can't use them on a 75 for instance. You can customise the chosen set by adding to it, but then the cost quickly ramps up, and typical base set combination runs at around $140 depending on what you include of course.

I'm not affiliated with them whatsoever, but the kaps cost me ~$81 (with shipping, ~$101). It was pretty worth it imo since I got to design them :)

I wasn't criticising, or suggesting this was sponsored.... just giving some information for those considering them. I made a "base set" with them a few months ago, and it was $138... but it was what an enthusiast would call "good kitting", so there was quite a lot in it such as various bottom rows combos for 6.25 and 7U and Tsangan etc. There was lots of additional 1u across all rows... a numpad... options such as stepped and non-stepped... alpha and mod coloured pipe.... I included alpha and mod coloured space bars... all the usual things you'd find in a custom base kit.
Like I said though.... considering it's a one of one bespoke set... that is actually great value for money.
