Recurve Mechanical Keyboard

thingiverse

This is a custom ergonomic mechanical keyboard that I designed and use every day. The original Fusion 360 files are available online at this link: https://a360.co/2Ts2gEZ To build this keyboard, you'll need the following parts: * 80 Cherry MX compatible switches; I used Kailh Box Browns. * 80 Diodes * A Teensy 2.0 microcontroller, available from PJRC. * Keycaps designed specifically for the Big Bang keycap set by KBDFans. * Button head M3 screws to avoid interference with switch presses. Printing Instructions: * Print both Case.stl and SwitchPlate.stl twice: once as is, and once mirrored. * All other parts print just once. Assembly Steps: * Sand the edges of the case and Switchplate so they fit together smoothly without gaps. * Cut 1.75mm filament into pins to join the halves of the switch plate and case. * Glue the halves of the SwitchPlate and Case together, using a super glue activator for extra hold. * Attach the covers for the switch plate with pins as well. * Glue in the joiner.stl on the case. * Ensure the switch plate fits snugly into the case; there are holes at the bottom for a small screwdriver to pop it out if needed. * Secure the Teensy 2.0 microcontroller to the Switch Plate using hot glue, aligning with markings on the bottom of the plate. * Follow the QMK hand-wired guide to wire the keyboard: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/hand_wire.md * I'll upload my custom QMK firmware soon to GitHub.
