Corne LP Mechanical Keyboard High-Profile Case

prusaprinters

<p>I couldn't find any super simple cases for the Corne LP, so I made my own! The dimensions of the PCB vary ever so slightly from the source files since Boardsource designed their own flavor. Use wired or wireless. This is the high-profile version of <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/137791-corne-lp-mechanical-keyboard-minimal-case">my other Corne case</a>.</p><p>This case supports fitting the battery underneath the PCB so you can use LowPro MillMax sockets and keep the board pretty thin. There are built in wire channels for getting the battery wires from the board to under the PCB, as well as a spot to include a switch. Be clean about your wire management, use electrical/blue tape where necessary to keep the wires between the components on the back. Tented at 0.7 degrees to accommodate the extra thickness. Alternatively, just do the traditional HighPro with the battery stacked between the microcontroller and the PCB.</p><p>This combo has the battery and switch I used: <a href="https://www.littlekeyboards.com/products/battery-combo-nice-nano-controller">https://www.littlekeyboards.com/products/battery-combo-nice-nano-controller</a><br>I did use lower sockets and a micro JST connector, but parts are parts.&nbsp;</p><p>The plate is sandwiched into place by the switches, and I rolled up some blue tape to stick the case to the back of the PCB. Blue tape holds surprisingly well, doesn't need extra hardware, and makes it easy to pop the case open if you have a stubborn switch that needs a push from the back. I also recommend craft store adhesive backed foam for the case to give it the much needed friction. You can turn the case upside down and press it into the foam to get the outline you need to cut.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Microcontroller covers (designed after pictures were taken) are designed so you only need to use 1 M2x6 screw to mount. At it's current state, it is not compatible with TRRS jack. Height designed for the sockets I have, so I included an STP so you can change things to fit your hardware. There's also a flexible tab modeled in for a reset switch mounted to the top of the PCB if you have it, like in the pictures in my <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/137791-corne-lp-mechanical-keyboard-minimal-case">low-profile case</a>.</p><p><br>The case prints with only two bottom layers, making this design as low profile as you can possibly get. Adding the craft store foam adds 2mm. Right side is just a mirror of the left, adjust in your slicer.</p>
