3D Printed case before finish
06/26/2021 at 11:18 • 0 commentsHere is a picture of the 3D printed case before finish.
I actually printed it in 5 separate parts that i than glued together with epoxy. Did this because of the limitations of the pint-bed size and because i didn't want such long time prints. (I have a Wanhao Dupilcator I3 Plus btw.)
After printing and glueing i than pushed in threaded inserts to connect the PCB to the case. Than i sanded the print smooth, filled bigger holes/print mistakes with filler, sanded again, sprayed it with primer and than put on the color (RAL9016) and a coat of clear varnish

Mistake on PCB with USB-Hub
06/19/2021 at 16:50 • 0 commentsI made a upsi in the schematic with the USB-Hub Chip. I pulled-up a configuration pin, instead of pulling it down to GND. This changes the USB hub between buspower and selfpowerd.

Adding option of a weight
06/19/2021 at 16:32 • 0 commentsI added a cut-out in the housing for a metal weight.
I calculated it to be 450g in copper, or 570g in lead. To make the keyboard make fell more solid and make the sound better. -
Small change to 3D model
06/19/2021 at 16:10 • 0 commentsHad to remove some material at the housing around the USB-C Port. So that no material has to be removed with any tools after 3D-printing.
