LAYEREDOoh... this YouTuber uses one of my 3D models and mentions and links it in his video! 😃

@jackbrewster @fahrni @chockenberry If I had a source where I could buy defective keyboards with a working Touch ID button, I would sell fully assembled #TouchMagic button cases.
It's done: The wireless version of the #TouchMagic button. An #Apple Touch ID button, freed from its old and defective keyboard, built into its own case. Now usable with every keyboard you want to use. The battery can be charged via the lightning port.😃
You’ll find the model on #MakerWorld:
Touch Magic - Wireless by LAYERED
This is the wireless version of my wired “Touch Magic” case. Key FeaturesNo glue needed when assemblingNo supports needed on printingNo threaded insertsOnly 4 screws (2x for the Lightning Port, 2x for the Logic Board)!Bill of MaterialsA defective Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID (this case is made for small wireless version!)2 BT2x2 self tapering screws (to attach the Lightning port to its plate)2 M1x3 machine screws (to hold the logic board)NOTE: I used these self tapering screws and these machine screws. Parts needed from the KeyboardThe Touch ID sensor with its ribbon cableThe Logic-BoardThe Keyboard BatteryThe Lightning connector with its ribbon cableHere you can have a look at the current version of the model as a live rendering.NOTE: I highly recommend to print the “Lightning Plate” and the “Sensor Lid” with 0.1mm layer height! All other parts can be printed with 0.16mm layer height.The following pictures are taken in the order of assembly. Some NotesI printed it on my Bambu Lab X1C with filaments from Bambu Lab (PLA Matte Ash Grey 11102) and Polymaker (PolyTerra PLA).
What do you mean? Base plate with or without notch? 🤔
Some minor optimizations on the case and its parts, but the wireless version already works. 😎
After finishing my #TouchID button (the wired version), I decided to design a wireless version, too. It uses the built in battery from the „Magic Keyboard with Touch ID“. The battery still can be charged through the Lightning port, but the button operates wireless.
The good thing of this design: It needs only 2 screws! 🤓
All parts for external Touch ID case are designed and ready for the final print (I've done lots of test prints already).
Here can see a live rendering of the entire model.
So far for the design. This is a remix of a model from #Printables. A couple of adjustments have been made and the top has been pimped a little.
