Proton 64

thingiverse

A case designed to house a standard, unmodified C64 (or VIC20) keyboard and QMK Proton C. Keyboard is at a 9° angle. Bottom plate has one hole to expose the Proton C's button for easy firmware updates without the need for key combos/macros. The case is held together by 9 M2x5 screws. Depending on your printer and build size limitations you will have to cut the model into several pieces and join them somehow. For my print I split the design by 3 horizontally and joined the pieces using CA-glue as well as 'welding' single layer PLA sheets over the joints. My recommendation is to add rubber feet to the 4 bottom corners. Also, if you're not using a QMK Proton C you need to design your own IO-plate and modify the mounting/hold-down mechanism ('X' in bottom plate) to fit your specific controller. ## Design goals ## - no modifications to original keyboard - capture design language of breadbin C64 - comfortable, usable angle without adjustment possibilities (original C64 wasn't adjustable) - print in material simulating UV damage ** QMK config/keymap and additional images can be found on github: ** https://github.com/thr33face/proton64
