As Jack is still working on the Preonic PCB for Kailh Choc switches, I figured I could try to handwire one myself. It's my first custom keyboard, so I had a lot to learn. - -First I designed the case in fusion 360. I wanted to build it using acrylic, constrained myself to standard acrylic sheet thickness. - - - -You can download the model [here](https://a360.co/2OqiKLm). - -To test my design I 3D printed the parts. - - - -The result was encouraging, so I decided to build a prototype out of the printed plates using Kailh Choc brown switches. I tried to make the handwiring job as flat as possible so it can fit in my design. - - - - -I designed switch plate and the middle plates so that they would be glued together. The middle plate has inserts to attach the bottom plate using m8 screws. - - - -The end result is not too bad, but there is a few things I would do differently. Gluing 3D printed plates wasn't a good idea. The switch layer is so thin, that it bends when all the switches are slotted. As a result, the keyboard is not entirely flat. I will replace the bottom plate by a metal one so I get more weight and rigidity. - -Even with acrylic, I think I will have the same issue. I might switch to screws + bolts that go all the way through. - |
