thingiverse

Hardware list ------------------ - 5 x 8mm m3 hex bolt - 4 x 12mm m3 hex bolt - 9 x m3 nuts - 8 x 3/8" rubber feet - 4 x 8mm rare earth magnets - 28 x switching diodes - 28 x cherry-esque switches - 1x Arduino pro micro - 1' stipped ethernet cable (for wire) nuts, bolts, and feet were available at home depot. Rare earth magnets were picked up at hobby lobby. electronics can be purchased on amazon. Most Ergodox/dactyl boards require a lot of support and take a ton of time to print. the ergodonk is a game pad with a similar form factor, designed to be nearly support-free. You will only need full support on the Arduino holder, and minor support on the keeb body. (Some printers can bridge the Arduino holder cutout, but you may not want to chance it since it's not much support) at .12 layer height, I was able to print the entire thing in about 20 hrs. The arrow keys are shift and Ctrl, they just happened to be the right row in cherry profile. Assembly notes: If you use my firmware, check wiring diagrams first, when I was soldering I started with a middle wire and was one hole off. Rather than resolder, I had to loop the last column back to the beginning and the firmware was rewritten to reflect this. after wiring put the bolts loosely through the frame into the Arduino holder this will allow you to wiggle it a little/angle it a little while pacing the frame into the body. you will need to help align the Arduino holder a little by using a screwdriver or hobby knife to align it with the hole in the side of the body. I did this using the tools through the hole itself. after the holder is in place, you can button her up and enjoy. Included is the .step file for anyone who needs to remix it or make a new palm wrest. (Also so you can see what a noob I am at fusion 360)
