Oh and excuse the double post but just wondering if you've confirmed the grey acrylic midpiece. If not, I'm imagining a clear frosted/diffused piece might look pretty amazing.
Yup, trying to get it as close to the color of the cut side as possible


Please don't make it too dark, let some light go through!  :p

OK for real this time stay tuned for updates about the carbon fiber within the week. One thing I can say for sure is that BBS's acrylic piece price for some reason is actually a decent bit better than any other place I've gotten a quote from so we'll be ordering from them for that. So there is a definite there.

Yep, there was just one little weird thing with the quotes (a 30% price difference between regular and happy layout) but once I figure out what weird happened there, they just need all exact measurements and we should be good to go :thumb:

Ok cool thanks for your answers. I know nothing about making such quote nor what kind of files you need to provide them hence I was being a bit curious.

Hehe I'm no HHKB user anymore! I just liked the CTRL layout even though I didn't like the arrow placement nor the Fn position.

Could the price difference simply be that the HHKB has less switch slots to cut than the standard, and so is cheaper? I mean, it's not like 30% less cutting, mind you, so that is still a little weird. It's only like, four slots omitted, right? Yeah, that shouldn't create such a stark contrast in price.

Yeah, I mean I was expecting a small difference, but as you said it's literally a difference of a few holes, shouldn't be so large.

Yeah. I'm curious to know how long it could take for such job with our number of orders.

Hopefully smooth sailing from here onwards!
Yeah. I'm curious to know how long it could take for such job with our number of orders.

Cool to know, thanks.

The real waiting game begins then. Waiting on BBS and your new manufacturer. So excited! First custom to be completed. :D

Is lack of weight an issue with this? I 3d printed a case once and it was way too light to keep it from sliding around even with rubber feet.

While weight is one factor to prevent sliding, it's far from the only one.  You could use 'softer' rubber feet, or rubber feet with greater contact patches to prevent sliding.

Nobody has received this product yet, so we cannot comment on the weight of it.

I think one purpose of this GB was to make a lightweight case IIRC. Perhaps Hwood can comment on this as I may be mistaken.

Yeah, I definitely don't want a heavier than necessary enclosure, this will go into my portable keyboard which I'm going to be carrying around.

I guess one could design a bottom ALU or stain steel plate in order to make it heavier though. As it would be done on little quantity, it would be expensive I think.

Is this GB open to new orders? I would like to buy one but I didn't see an order form link.

yep, something light for portability, I guess theoretically you could just use some sort of adhesive to attach some weights if its absolutely too light, or something like lead tape for tennis or golf

Mechanical Engineer here, first of all, I don't see anything wrong with the drawings :)

I was going to ask if the manufacturers are receiving anything like a STEP file or DXF?  These drawings are under-constrained, so they will need something describing the rest of the geometry.

I think I'm just not the target demographic for this. Which is a shame because I bet they are going to look gorgeous.
