Updates & Design Log23/Jul/21 - Thanks for the amazing IC responses, I'm overwhelmed by the interest in the Calice! I've updated design to add the C3 Unified Daughterboard. USB port still horizontally centred to F6/F7, vertically it's located centre to the height of the bottom piece.
Updated USB port design has been included in the R2 prototypes21/Sep/21 - Following changes were made based on R2 prototype
- Case angle changed 5° for a more comfortable typing experience, as well as lowering the case by about 4mm on the back. Makes the back less chunky but also more proportionate to the top piece
- Simplified plate design, added more tadpole mounting points to better support flexible plate material
- Increased bottom cavity by 2.5mm to better support flexible plate materials
- Case bottom side profile is now perpendicular to ground, this also has a flow on effect in that the weight is now rectangular
- Handles have had curves increased as an aesthetic choice for a more 'flowy' back profile
- Removed Calice engraving on top face
22/Dec/21 - Following changes were made based on R3 prototype
- Front ledge decreased by 2mm to 18mm
- Simplified plate design with less mounting points more evenly distributed
- Back ledge was added, changed design aesthetic for back profile
