Getting there with the fibre optic skirt. I've currently got fibres every ~10cm, give or take, and i've realised it is much easier to rough up the fibres as i go than it is to sand them in situ. Using the cat's laser pen as a tester! Eventually should end up with fibres ~every cm or so. It's a long process, and it is currently far too warm really to work on this, but i really want it for EMF so i need to get going! The clips are to help me keep track of LED positions.

Just coming back from Hackaday Europe, where I showed my full RGB keyboard mod for the Supercon communicator badge. Custom front PCB with side emitting addressable LEDs and a custom resin-printed keyboard. Project write-up at hackaday.io, there's also a video with more details: https://hackaday.io/project/205750-communicator-badge-full-rgb-keyboard?mc_cid=c100339f64&mc_eid=d5c71569fd

Thanks everyone for the great feedback, it was an amazing event!
