[IC] Resin Casted 60% cases

[gaiden]

Hey, man. I shipped those stand-off/extenders. I sent them cheap so I didn't do tracking. I am in Oklahoma so usually everything ships pretty quick. I would expect them Tuesday or Wednesday.

Thanks I actually just made another case

That looks great! How heavy are they?

Yes this! What's the weight and is it possible to make a high profile with a thick resin bottom? That would be awesome

That turned out pretty nice!  How time consuming is this process?

Not to long for the white and black swirls(about an hour). The clear ones take longer(about 6 hours to cure). After that I have to sand the bottoms and that's about another 20 mins.

These are high profile and the bottoms are pretty thick. I will have better pictures up later and also a weight.

Busgamer, did you ever find out the average weight of these cases?

140g? actually that's alot lighter than i expected..I was hoping500-600g. i guess my understanding to density of resin is severely lacking. is there support for some sort of weight underneath or inside the case?

Would be cool to see one cast like the tex aluminum / acrylic cases.

Im a big fan of no angle low profile cases

Those I can actually make and sell :-), I have one other person intrested that is willing to let me borrow one to make a mold out of. I was planning on making some in about a month.

The clear resin is about 2-3 times heavier. I could always add a weight to the case.

This is very good news! really hoping this with weight can reach something in the range of ~2lbs (entire keyboard) that would be very awesome. Merlin64 did ran some custom weight insert gbs maybe he can help if there is need?

It's great to see some fun cases on the horizon. Looks like the glass weapons from Skyrim.

[Slash Emperor]

I don't know how I missed the IC thread you've had up over here.

Like your previous casts, I'm very interested in this as well.

I still kinda like my idea better. There are a lot of cases that allow under glow, but the last one I made reflected the underglow all the way up the sides of the case.

Nice.  Would love either a solid grey, or frosted translucent grey.

[Skuloth]

Something tex like that matches my wrist rest would be sweet.

Yeah both this and the Zephyr are impressive, but in different ways.

OMG

I like the format though! Raffles are boring and the barrier of entry is far too low. This makes things interesting.

Yes, they are low profile. Any chance you'll make some high profile ones?

working on that :-)

Make a HHKB style case and I'll buy for sure!

need to buy one first

I'll send you an HHKB Pro 2 case to base it off of. In addition, I'm interested in HHKB Pro 2,  60% b.face, PLANCK and ducky shine 6 which I can also send you the case for.

A hhkb seems harder to do. Would the sliders still work well enough?

A 2 part hhkb case for 60 percent mx boards would be cool.

Also, I'll send you my fc660c upper case and maybe the bottom of the case so we can have some color options for that, too. If you want to do that.

I will buy my own. I will probably have to mod the cases for casting. For the realforce I plan on changing the rounded corners and adding mini usb on the back.

Simply oweseome!

Why sand the bottoms of the clears?

[HPE1000]

Simply oweseome!

Why sand the bottoms of the clears?

Maybe to help with light diffusion for underglow leds

[busgamer7394]

its a one part mold so I had to get rid of some of the resin. It also did a great job at diffusing the leds, ill take a before and after picture using leds on the next batch.

[ineph]

Which resin are you using?

[busgamer7394]

Which resin are you using?

About 6 different smooth-on resins

[Findecanor]

BTW, there is no such word as "casted". The past tense of "cast" is "cast". ... ah, peeve. :-ž

[ctzn_voyager]

These are awesome, would def be interested.
