3D printed Ergo parts: SLA vs. FDM? - Lemmy.world
Hi All, I’m planning to print a plate & case for a handwired 46-key split kb. I
have access to both SLA & FDM printers at a fab lab, so wondering which printer
tech would be best to print various parts such as keycaps, plate, case etc.
Function’s more important than looks for me. I’m allowed to use PLA or TPU for
the FDM, and the default resin (ABS-like?) for SLA. I’m thinking: - Keycaps: SLA
(I want really thin keycaps) - Plate: ?? (not sure what’s better for a thin &
durable plate that allows a bit of flex when typing) - Case: FDM (Due to costs,
and easy to embed screws & magnets) What do you think?

Replaceable battery while travelling for wireless split keyboards? - Lemmy.world
Hi folks. I’m trying to find a good way to mount the batteries for a wireless
split keyboard such that battery replacements can be done easily while
travelling internationally. As someone who’s now stuck with a dying LiPo battery
directly soldered to my nice!nano while travelling, I’m struggling to find
battery replacement options that are NOT online orders. Most local shops don’t
have the 3.7V thin-ish LiPos that I often see in wireless splits, and the
language barrier certainly makes finding things more difficult. So, with this in
mind, I’m thinking of making a dedicated battery slot for each half that could
fit a rechargeable AA or AAA-sized LiPo, which can be easily bought from shops
at the airport or shopping mall. However, I’m unsure if any additional circuit
or component is required for those AA/AAA-sized LiPos to work with a split
keyboard (in terms of voltage). Has anyone tried to use such batteries for your
split keyboards, or have seen a project that uses them? Also, if not
AA/AAA-sized LiPos, what battery types would you suggest for this scenario?
