So, it's Sunday and I get to spend more time on this project, so I hope I can upload more logs today. The 3d printer is busy right now and I get a break to write this log before starting to work on another feature. I'm printing a test for the keyboard mount posts.

Yesterday I measured and drew the posts which will hold the keyboard in place. I got the dimensions for my drawings from the back cover of the keyboard:

I wrote down the dimensions I measured with callipers directly into the sketches. Which then I modelled into the shell:

Since I can't just print the posts by themselves or print the hole shell or back, I created a small plane just for testing.

So I just hope that if fits the holes on the keyboard PCB, then I can reinforce them like in the original back cover. Next, I will probably start to work on the raspberry pi mount. I'm also still pondering how I will split the shell, but I prefer to focus on these details for now. See you later!
