Oskitone Scout 2-piece Keyboard Mod

cults3d

I wanted to build the Oskitone Scout for my daughter printing the case by me (I've added my daughter's name on top) but my printers doesn't support the filament change command so apparently for me was impossible to print the keyboard having different color for white (tone) and black (semitone) keys. Don't be fooled by pictures I've added: I've printed the "white keys" in black and the "black keys" in white following an ancient habit that was in use first than 19th century when there wasn't a "color standard" for the piano keys. The actual standard of white color for tone keys and black color for semitone keys came after the 19th century. So this idea come in mind to cut the original keyboard design for having white keys and black keys separated. There are 3 STLs in the download: "white keys" is the main part: the top part of black keys was removed and there are 2 holes of 1.8mm diameter for each black key for accomodating the 2 pins I've added to the black keys. Then there are 2 different STLs for a single black key: one having the pins 1.8mm diameter and the other having pins 1.6mm diameter. Since my printer was perfectly calibrated I managed to attach the 1.8mm pins black keys on the main part using only a rubber hammer without broking nothing leading to a solid piece. If you're in doubt, you can print the main part first and then print only 1 1.8mm pin key and 1 1.6mm pin key and see which one fit best. If 1.8mm doesn't fit, try the 1.6mm and apply some glue. Then print other 6 black keys. Support Oskitone.
