[IC] Honeycomb - not your average 40% ortho acrylic sandwich
« on: Thu, 12 March 2020, 12:43:29 »


Honeycomb is a 4 layer acrylic sandwich with internal plate and a color-changeable honeycomb pattern accent. Currently Honeycomb supports the SharkPCB, but I'll likely roll my own before offering the kit for sale.




Screws are sunk into the bottom and the top layer is tapped so you don't see any ugly holes on the top. Bumpons can be installed to provide traction.

No pricing yet.
I'm looking to provide many color options for the plate, honeycomb accent and the case as is reasonable. The prototype is matte black on the top and bottom.

If there's interest for a staggered layout, I'll consider having a kit for that, too.

I love the honeycomb corner but can't help thinking with those huge bezels this case must be close to the size of a 60% board, which is more usable.  If you're making a PCB anyway could you move the key section down and right slightly and add a number row (minus the top left key) and an extra column without affecting the look much?  I tried in gimp (free photoshop-ish) and looks like it fits easily but it wasn't pretty :))
