Lotus58 Case (classic 1.24 version)

prusaprinters

Note: currently for the Classic version only. Based on the 1.24 version. I am building a Lotus58 split keyboard and wanted to design a 3D printed case around it. It is still a WIP, so keep that in mind.Normally the keyboard is built with additional top and bottom plates. These two plates are attached together such that the pcb remains floating in the middle. The keyswitches are attached to the top plate so when you press down on a key, the force will be transferred to the bottom plate. This way there won't be any physical strain on the electrical connection. With my design the PCB is resting on the case and the top plate is s so with keypresses you will put strain on the electrical connection. I'm looking at ways to solve this, hence this is still WIP.Updated the design and now the top plate rests on the PCB. Use countersunk M2x16 screws assemble. Also added some arm rests.Keep in mind that the case and armrest are right hand side and both top plates are left hand side. Mirror in X when necessary.Edit 22-07-2023: Updated design that uses M2x16mm countersunk screws with M2 nuts. Added a secondary design that uses larger bezels and rounded corners. Furthermore added a combined STL for both armrest and case in one piece. Will fit on a Prusa i3 Mk3, but not on a Prusa Mini. Legacy folder contains all the previous STLs, but they are not recommended.I am planning to make a version that is compatible with a standard Lotus58 build that uses Brass M2 spacers with just a screw from the bottom. That will make swapping from a solid baseplate to this design easier.
