IBM Model M DIN 5 - External Soarers converter

thingiverse

External Soarers converter for IBM Model M/F keyboards which utilise the DIN5 connector. I've just used the following in the build. DIN 5 https://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com/DC524.html 2 x 10mm M3 screws Teensy 2.0 + generic wiring and connectors. The teensy would likely benefit from a dab of hot glue on the corners to help retain it further however it's held reasonably in place by the wall at the rear + the lid is a VERY snug fit. The Arduino's not going anywhere unless you drop it! I'd STRONGLY recommend using countersunk screws as my connector does collide with the dome headed screws (Though this does not impact the use or performance of the keyboard) The lid's a press fit, quite tight, my printer has nice tollerance, if it's too tight perhaps reduce the size by 1 or 2 percent? (Or perform a flow calibration?) This is the first thing I've ever designed in Fusion 360, happy to take feedback or potential changes
