Tenkeyless PCB for Filco and YMDK case

(1/8) > >>

kkatano:
I recently designed a Phantom style PCB, but found that it did not fit perfectly with the YMDK aluminum case. The genuine Filco PCB seems to have the same problem.
So I started designing a new PCB named Wallaby that fits perfectly into the YMDK case.

Does anyone have the same problem as me? I searched online and nobody seems to mention this issue.

Anyway, I will work on the project for my enjoyment.

I decided to terminate this project in order to focus on other projects.

The biggest thing is that the YMDK case problem has been solved as reported by kernelsanders.

I noticed the XMMX implemented USB type C. I recommend XMMX as a replacement PCB for Filco.

For plates, there is a FR4 plate by DALExSNAIL. I hope that he might make parts other than the plate like case and PCB as well.

For myself, I'm going to focus my efforts on what others are not doing.

Cool idea! I could really use a couple of these for old Filco boards I have.

On here the user [null] created a PCB for fullsize Filco boards. Maybe it would be helpful for your design? Link: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=97883.0

This would go well with the current IC for FR4 plates for Filco cases.

kkatano:
Thanks for interesting information, equalunique. That's great project.
XMMX is also a great work and good replacement PCB.

That's good. I think the plate you mentioned will fit both Filco and YMDK cases.
