[IC] Acrylic Keyboard Accesories and Cases
« on: Wed, 01 July 2020, 11:30:03 »
Hello everyone, My username is Lenux, i've recently joined the mechanical keyboard community and found myself really a new hobby.
Today i will present for you keyboard Acrylic Accessories and cases, from keyboard cases to accessories, switch tester, lubestation and others.



1. Story Time

For summer, i had to make an internship and corona didn't help to find an internship so my only choice was to do it at my father's little factory/workshop.
His factory is actually located in Lebanon. Well it was a great opportunity to make use of his factory to help the community and maybe make me realise some projects. Here is a picture of the router so you know it's real.

Others picture available on the discord, link below.


I've launched 2 weeks ago the Interest Check on Reddit and some discords to not get a lot of review at the same time without having launch / start anything.
I also wanted to have as clean as i could prototypes and version, to show it and have nice review rather than bashing.



2. Prototypes and machinery

The prototypes were made and everything but sadly the cutting wasn't clean since the file wasn't well made either ,so i will have to redo some layers for Mysterium and Discipline. It should be done by friday.

For now i will show you the lubestation 2.8mm thickness,
246224-1
and the switch tester 3x3 without bottom (for now)
246226-2
I will later link to an Imgur gallery.

I hope it will be fine in your opinion and would love to hear your advices and comments (constructive would be appreciated). The fasteners will be furnished with the product, and the composite of every product is made of clear acrylic.

I am also really open for your projects and custom ideas, i made a special option on the google form, if the demand will be pretty high for any of your idea
i would gladly do it.
PS; I'm not willing to design just yet, it will take a lot of my time and without the funds i cannot make any tests without any certainty i hope you understand.

Hello everyone ! I'm back with some great news.

Today, i made some shots of the first prototype for discipline, sadly the first layer was failed because of a mistake with the plate below the cutting, which ended with those little teeths out (issue is solved will show some picture later this week) i hope these pictures will make you confident about the project, will take some with the new layer tomorrow.
Shipping will be done by DHL because of good offer and affordable prices. Prototype will be send this week to a friend,i'm just waiting for DHL to send us the contract. The IC Form is still up you can fill it out (link below).

Nice! Acrylic looks like a good material to quickly make and try out different layouts without the endgame cost.
