I think i will have plenty of room; the top layer is very thick, the pins on the switches barely stick out, so i think i will have plenty of space.
The sides look thin but there isn't any flex whatsoever; they're very sturdy. i will mill out a bottom piece and probably put some rubber/grippy stuff on that, but it's TBD.
I saw your wood tests! They looked really good
I am not planning on milling wood keys; the precision isn't there for me yet, and i'm still figuring out a way to do two-sided cuts; i don't have limit or homing switches, but i could probably work something out with a jig.
I use a shapeoko (
www.shapeoko.com) which i've modified a bit.
I don't have many step by step pictures because there aren't many steps
Model, CAM the model into toolpaths, wait for it to cut, and there you have it
Although right now i'm resizing almost all of the holes because they're all just a *hair* too small. Argh.
