<h3>Printing</h3><p>Before printing, make sure to orient the pieces correctly. Flip the plate pieces upside down so there are no overhangs. For the base pieces, be sure to lay them flat on the build plate.</p><p>I would suggest printing one half or a small section of the plate first to check the fit of the switches. If they don't fit, check your printer calibration or adjust the size in slicer.</p><h3>Example build logs</h3><p><a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/LsimzKN#K7OdHK3">Amazing build log</a> by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/make:749198">MattInFl</a></p><ul><li>Very neat print and soldering.<ul><li>Even the internal wires match the keyset.

You can download the <a href="https://www.caniusevia.com/docs/download_firmware">VIA firmware</a> (handwired_3dp660_via.hex) straight from the website and flash it.</p><p>If you haven't hand wired a keyboard before, take a moment to read <a href="https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/hand_wire.md">qmk's hand wire guide</a>.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/d1f735b6d2739295faf932dbb61e3c8b4c0b2898/keyboards/clueboard/66/rev1/rev1.h">rev1</a> has rows that go from one end of the board to the other which makes wiring simpler but you will need 21 pins which limits you to Teensy2.0. See <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/make:849895">Gooberpsycho's wiring diagram</a>. <strong>Teensy is not much dearer than Pro Micro therefore I would suggest this.</strong></p><p><a href="https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/d1f735b6d2739295faf932dbb61e3c8b4c0b2898/keyboards/clueboard/66/rev3/rev3.h">rev3</a> has rows which split in the middle of the board. It is a little more confusing and possibly messy to wire up but only requires 18 pins which is possible on an Arduino Pro Micro.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/128577/rich_content/f87ee604-726c-45d6-a25b-1ff7a0217657/large_display_clueboard_rev3_wiring.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2219ba20fc-1c00-4b71-aa48-03f08599a638%22%2C%22w%22%3A1024%2C%22h%22%3A354%7D"></figure><h3>Firmware</h3><p>Please have a read of the <a href="https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs">qmk documentation</a> on how to set up the qmk build environment.</p><h3>Changelog</h3><h4>Update 2021-10-17</h4><p>Since posting this design, there's been a change to qmk which now uses json files to define keyboard layout and wiring. <a href="https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/clueboard/66/rev3/info.json">Please check the json file</a> which has the layout and pins defined. Again, consider rev1 if you're using a bigger breakout board such as the teensy 2++.</p><p>I've also updated the design to hold a mini-B breakout board.</p><h4>Update 2021-11-28</h4><p>Uploaded clueboard_66_rev4_via_teensy2pp.hex firmware which will enable VIA if you've used a Teensy2++ and wired it like rev3.</p><h4>Update 2021-11-29</h4><p>Included a plate with right split shift.</p><h3><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/128575-wakizashi-40-keyboard">Wakizashi 40</a></h3><p><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/128577/rich_content/54803dd2-b536-4c9b-a1e1-da989f137f91/7078248666f70b422127c6662cf79563_display_large_12.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22a708d788-ede3-4867-ba4f-26e18a6c03ba%22%2C%22w%22%3A1024%2C%22h%22%3A683%7D"><br>Check this keyboard out for something smaller.
