Update to the theead. Its test printing now.

If this succeeds , it ll be a great FDM optimized print which only takes rougly 5 hours and uses ONLY 90g of fillament.

I ll be back with photos and followups as usual.

Update. Now I'm in the process of resculpting the whole keyboard by hand, to "smoothify it" a bit.

Was quite a fun experience, gonna do that to the whole piece + remake sure it prints out without any supports.

I AM going to publish the desing once it's done.

As promised, next prototype, besides the thumb part which I need to model.

It came out much better than the other one, and it was fast, 3 hoursh ish.

After a bit of processing which, I admit, it was a bit hasly, so it's not the pretties, it's a great result I think.

Gonna itterate a bit more, I still have to do wire hole stuff, the cable holes, all those.

But it's nice!

Supportless as in, no slicer supports, just some breakways parts.

As promised, first prototype out of 4 parts for each side. I decided to segment it in 4 parts.

There s still the beautifying aspect,at this stage its just a box, plus adding all the holes for mounting the screws and everything else. But it does look good I think.
Part 2,3,4 on the go soon.
