Mechanical Keyboard Case 60%

thingiverse

This is my first remix and was done with Meshmixer as it was the only STL editing program I had on hand. The file worked out well enough for my keyboard that I thought I might as well upload it even though it may not be perfect. Sorry about the large file size, I ended up having to make the model "solid" in Meshmixer which dramatically increased the file size. Changes from the original split keyboard case models include: I widened the opening a couple of millimeters so that the XD64 PCB would fit in the case with some room to spare. I added the missing screw mount to the left-hand model, which sits on the rib near the left wall. I increased the height of the walls to rise slightly over the plate. I also added a rectangular hole in the bottom of the case to allow access to the programming button on the bottom of the PCB. Hopefully it will also clear PCBs with a dip switch bank in the same location, but I couldn't test it. Note that the underside surface-mount RGB LEDs on my PCB were sitting on one of the bottom support ribs. I used a rotary tool and ground away enough material for the LEDs to clear. The case is still plenty strong after doing this, printed at 20% infill. Different PCBs may not have the same issue. Note that the right-hand file is slightly taller than the left-hand file. It was the best I could do with Meshmixer and it's so slight that it isn't noticeable to me when the halves are joined together. I should have downloaded an actual 3D design program to do it properly, but I wanted to see what I could accomplish with Meshmixer.
