ASK60 Case for Apple Standard keyboard M0116 / M0118

thingiverse

Important Notice I will make changes to the model to reduce the gap at the bottom row, but the model is fully usable. This model has no relation to the fantastic project named ASK55 by Paradigm. If you're looking for an end-game keyboard, check out the parts made by @Pizza_is_a_lie on Geekhack: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101024.0. This case is not compatible with the paradigm ASK55. Here's the link to the ASK10 keypad related to this 60% case: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4052241 Hi there, This is a standard Apple keyboard case (M0116 and M0118). The idea behind this project is to create an ASK without a numpad. I started working on this because the original ASK alphas and number keys are only 14.5 units long, unlike all other keyboards. Currently, there's no compatible 60% case available. --- ## Parts to Print There are two file versions of the case: one complete plate, and another cut in half for smaller printers. If you choose the second option, you'll need to print some IKEA ankles as well. The plate file is not meant to be printed; it's just here for renders and design purposes. ## Parts You Need 1. ASK: Alps switches, keycaps, stabs, and the original plate that needs to be cut. 2. Possibly screws. 3. A Lemo connector M9 4-pin (angled if possible): https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32891531824.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.3bdb13beEqdSqD&algo_pvid=32e55594-7a2c-4626-b345-f86b1a75c050&algo_expid=32e55594-7a2c-4626-b345-f86b1a75c050-0&btsid=12a6bf28-6928-48a2-8b95-95049ff59167&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_1,searchweb201603_55. ## Tools 1. Plastic glue (if you choose the second design). 2. Metal saw. 3. A dremel for cutting the plate and friction soldering the two case parts together (if you opt for the second version).
