Custom 68-Key Mechanical Keyboard Case

thingiverse

A 3-part case for a custom 68-key mechanical keyboard has been created, featuring a switch plate compatible with MX type switches that clips into place at the right thickness. The creator has a CR-10 Mini printer, which means the full case wouldn't fit on the build plate, so each model had to be split into two halves using friction welding. However, they could have easily been super glued together if needed. This custom keyboard project was originally based on 68keys.io and was posted on the Reddit community for Mechanical Keyboards. The post can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/91mxpn/finally_posting_it_my_custom_68_key_board_with_3d/. More pictures of the finished board are available at this link: https://imgur.com/a/spoQKb7. The keyboard uses an mf68 PCB, which can be purchased here: https://spacecat.design/products/mf68-v1-1-pcb or here (although it was out of stock at the time of posting). The PCB was originally designed by dioib. A QMK preset for firmware is available here: https://config.qmk.fm/#/mf68/LAYOUT. However, the layout itself is blank and can be easily filled in. For beginners on Windows, saving themselves the hassle of compiling with code is recommended and using the GUI linked above is suggested.
