Magicforce Case

thingiverse

If you'd like a similar case that's 3D printed except for the screws, check out [this design](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3019052).\r\n\r\nThis case is perfect for using up leftover MF68 PCBs, designed by di0ib. Since the minimum order from JLCPCB is 5x, you're likely to have some leftover parts if all you wanted was to swap the PCB on an existing Magicforce. This means you could use this to build new keyboards with that layout from scratch.\r\n\r\n##### Additional parts (beyond the MF68 BOM):\r\n\r\n - Buy 6x McMaster # 94459A150 M4 threaded inserts, heat set, brass (buy extra, these are easy to mess up)\r\n - Get 6x McMaster # 92832A326 M4 x 8mm button head screws, torx, ZP (or similar)\r\n - Purchase 6x McMaster # 95495K39 Rubber feet (or similar)\r\n\r\n##### Configuration:\r\n\r\nTilt is customizable and the STLs are configured with a positive tilt of one degree (towards you). Set "Hand" to either L or R to set which half OpenSCAD gives you.\r\n\r\n##### Pre-processing:\r\n\r\nYou'll need to calibrate for expected shrink/scaling error on your printer, using the perimeter, floor, and temperature settings that you plan to use. In my situation, printing with Creality PLA led to scaling the width up by 1.0056 to get the laser-cut plate to snap into place (a whole 2mm of interference without compensation).\r\n\r\nThis can print without support except beneath the joint on the left side and inside the USB port opening on the right side. If you're using Cura, use support erasers to enforce this. No amount of roof or floor will make this case rigid enough to use without all 6 rubber feet, but 3mm of perimeter will help ensure the heat-set insert has its rated strength.\r\n\r\n##### Relevant Links:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.40percent.club/search?q=mf68\r\nhttps://68keys.io/
