Hi KoBuss, I've been following your build guides and they've been really helpful for making a case of my own! Can I ask what size standoffs and screws you used to assemble your case? Thanks!
I’m trying to make a keyboard business and I need to find out how to design a keyboard so I can patent it but I’m somewhat lost because I would like to make a modified 65% and I don’t know how to make 3D models for the case and pcb, and I’m still trying to figure out if I would also have to make my own type of switches so I don’t run into legal issues? I’m not too sure yet about that tho
Is there a cheap and easy way to make just the frame to the case, and not the entire case, because I already have a case but no frame to hide the "feet" of the switch.
13:25 - it’s a bit frustrating that the data sheet only supplies metric values for a couple of items. I suspect these things were designed in metric. Because 14.000mm (specifying extra precision just to emphasize that I mean exactly 14mm) lands within the 0.551+/-0.002” (14mm=0.551181”), and for the plate thickness you’re talking about here, 0.06+/-0.004 may be close to 1/16” (0.0625”), but 1.5mm is closer (0.0590551). (And even 1.6mm, a common nominal PCB thickness, is within spec. And gets even closer without the copper layers. (However, outside tolerances for such a PCB, especially with copper, may exceed allowed tolerances for the keys, so... YMMV.)
@@shaddonai2636 I think you’re making a joke that I’m not quite getting. I know that I’m of the opinion (though I acknowledge this is just an opinion) that anyone designing stuff in the 21st century for a general/global audience ought to use metric. :)

Maybe M2
Very nice tutorial. I like the workflow between this open source apps :p!
how much would it cost for create a test unit ?
You can use the svg files in the repository and get a quote from an online site like ponoko

how long you make this 3d?
Hey cant wait for next ep, hope you post soon

well, the people who designed the program are in the XXI century :p
