3x11 Ortholinear Keyboard

thingiverse

This is a 3x11 ortholinear keyboard that I've designed and built. It accommodates both plate mount and board mount Cherry MX switches, as well as Kailh hot swap sockets. While it's not flawless, it will produce a usable keyboard. The Kailh hot swap sockets may require gluing to the back of the top plate unless they remain in place during soldering. All wiring can be soldered directly onto the printed components, but some melting might occur if you're too slow with the process. This keyboard is held together by M3 machine screws. The bottom plate has been designed to hold a Teensy 2.0 microcontroller, and all credit for this mount goes to Shipe Design. You can find their original design on Youmagine at https://www.youmagine.com/designs/teensy-2-0-snap-fit-mount. Originally, I had intended for it to be printed on a 160x160mm bed, so the design was split into separate pieces. However, I've uploaded STL files for both the full-length print and the segmented version. To achieve an even better fit, consider making the following adjustments: Widen the screw head recesses ever so slightly. Deepen the screw head recesses ever so slightly. You may identify additional issues to address, but these are the primary areas that need improvement.
