Whilst using Attempt4 for a bit, I noticed that Finger5 might be able to slide across the same surface as the other fingers. Theoretically, the finger responsible for [space] and other things would only have to move +/- 2mm for most typing, and printed concepts of the #Tetent TestCut have shown that the thumb could comfortably move well enough to share the same layout as Fingers 2-4. The same can't really be said for Finger5 at the moment, and the reason why I want to try and get a solution that includes Finger5.

This is the next solution I've come up with. I've changed the main draft angle so that it's like the Testcut. The design is 80mm at the shortest section and 94mm at the longest, with the L thickness being 9mm. I'm waiting for it to print right now, and I hope this one actually works because then I'd be able to use them as a split, slightly smaller TestCut:
That specific cut around Finger5 is so that said finger doesn't hit the sharp edge of the white section.

In other news, it's quite nice to go all the way back to the first Timespy project log and read that I partially started the project because of the 90Hz screen I found, reject it and then accept it months later because of a design aesthetic change.
