Where can I get a some kind of baseplate for custom keycaps? (lemmy.world)

Hi there, I am using Keychron K1 SE and wanted to switch out the orange escape-key and the lights-key with wooden keycaps. After making some small wood clips, I tried to use some sawed Lego-Parts to put them on the Cherry switches. They fit surprisingly well, but are not held in firmly enough.

Can I purchase some baseplates for custom keycaps somewhere or should I try to get them 3d-printed (I have no experience with that)?

Thanks for any help
