[GreenwaldDesigns]

Better get voting! Cameo White, Cosmos Prima, and Elderberry are in the top 3 right now!

Im going to be sooooo happy if Elderberry makes it!

Me too! Probably one of my favorite colors in the list of options.

[Vigrith]

White, Elderberry, Limestone. Hoping not all of them run at the one time though as I can't afford all 3 haha

Honestly, I might do multiple runs Who knows

Submitted the form, this looks so awesome. Rare to see a new material that actually seems worth doing, I'm excited about this!

Dam, the real problem is choosing which color to go with. They're all really nice.

If anything, you could always get 3 Luminas, all different colors Another cool thing is that you can mix and match colors. I tried out black top with white bottom, and it does look pretty cool!

Will add that to the list of things to consider!

[Poesjuh]

In switch led to the south is a ***** with cherry profile caps though :S

Switch top removal, absolutely. South leds, absolutely not.

[Atredl]

I wouldn’t buy a pcb if it came with north facing leds.

[FrostyToast]

So... Would you call this a...
Corian custom?

Yes I would XD

PCB will be optional, as the case works with any standard 60% pcb! I am working to get the PCB to be what most people will want, but in the event people are not satisfied with what it is in the end, other PCB can definitely be used with the Lumina.

[beekey]

Some questions:

1. the plate ist custom for this case?
2. Normal 60% plates will not work?
3. the PCB offers a split space layout, but the plate does not, right?

Looks so nice, but I love split space.

Answers to your questions:

1. Plate is custom for this case, but the plate files will be open sources most likely so that people can do whatever layout they might want with this case.

2. Normal 60% plates will not work with this due to the way that the case is constructed.

3. PCB and Plate will both offer split spacebar, plate will be updated to reflect this, as the plates I have now are just standard. But yes, the plate and pcb will offer the same layouts.

Uh oh, this sounds like a might get an awesome split space super case. Looking forward to the GB!

[adamchevy]

I saved my $$$ to put down on the Rama M60-A, but after seeing this I am going to hold off. This looks spectacular!

Should be pretty awesome!

pretty nice

Tossing in my 2cents that I saw these in person finally at the Columbus meet and I can say they are stunning. 

[dead_pixel_design]

Interested

[Etherealsound]

Man I really want to see samples of cosmos prima and elderberry. This gb got hypeeed

Working on getting samples for those! Stay Tuned!

Would be in for winkeyless blockers!

[GreenwaldDesigns]

Would be in for winkeyless blockers!

If enough people want it, I can offer it! Fill out the poll, and leave me a message so I can keep in mind that WKL is wanted

[nathanchere]

Would recommend looking at the Norbatouch project which started out with a Corian option but never made it past the prototype stage. It's supposedly very difficult to work with when doing any kind of details, so I would expect the blockers in a winkeyless or similar layout would add a lot to the overall project cost. I'd like a WKL myself but would even more so like to see this happen at all so would suggest stick to standard layout only for the first run and you can always look at a WKL support in round 2 if the first round is successful.

For colour I voted Anthracite since you only allow one option but I'd also be happy to buy in Elderberry or White as well.

[ArchDill]

This is a very interesting concept! Excited to see how these turn out.

[emenelopee]

What screws are you using for the final? Any chance of hex heads or something sexier than the silver phillips?

Loving the new material and split space. I'm interested.

Also any chance of a solid Corian bottom/no diffuser?

EDIT: Voted for red + brass plate. Nice.

Did you mean the Norbaforce? I don’t think Corian was ever considered for the Norbatouch.

If I remember correctly, the thin sidewalls like these were where Corian would have issues.

Hey! Thank you for your input! While I was designing this board, I did come across the Norbaforce thread as a friend linked it to me. I have worked with Corian quite a bit, and have become very familiar with it's properties over the last 4 or so months, so this board is designed specifically to keep in mind the limitations of Corian and it's possiblities. As for the blocked and winkeyless tops that I am thinking of offering, the thickness of the material is well within the needed tolerances for the design to work! The Cost will not be too much more, as it would be a very small variation of the standard layout file type. I have taken into account the various aspects of the material and cnc costs as well!


Thank you very much for your feedback, I will be taking note of your comment about only one option.

[GreenwaldDesigns]

Thank you! There is still work to be done, based on feedback that I have gotten, but I hope that I will not disappoint!

EDIT: Voted for red + brass plate. Nice.

For the final, I was going to take a look at the various screw options, but seeing as the philips head screw is the most common and easily accessible, it will most likely be that. However, in terms of aesthetic, hex screws would indeed be sexy, so I will see what I can do!

As for the solid corian bottom, I am working on an update to the design that addresses that, as I have had multiple people comment that they would like to see a solid bottom to the case. Stay tuned!

Check out https://www.boltdepot.com 's socket products section!

They have *everything*, with bulk pricing, and a bunch of different materials, and also a nice selection of black oxide coated fasteners

Also, they're a USA company, and ship *super* fast. 
I use them for all my custom screw/bolt needs.

Bookmarked. Thank you! I will definitely look into this website for some good screws to use!

Sorry for the offtopic, but a Canadian venture called "Maple Computing" sounds so... right. Intuitive.

If I were to push through with the freelance web dev plans that resurface whenever I'm on the verge of ragequitting my job and called it Bratwurst Design, do you guys reckon that'd hinder my acquisition of clients or does the same vibe come across?



Nice keeb design dude. Not my taste but I appreciate the effort you put into this.

[online]

I thought I'm done with 60% until I see this AMAZING case.

Love the white classy look!

I would love to fit YD60BLE in there!!

Will you be happy to share the plate data once the GB finished? So that people could make their own plate with it.

Thanks! I will indeed be open sourcing the plate files for people to be able to make their own plates for the Lumina!

This has my vote for most anticipated mech keyboard project of 2018.

Thank you! I am currently working on getting updated prototypes with the angled bottom. Should be able to show them soon! After that, I will open the GB

[DasGnome]

Any updates?

[Winbrick]

I want one of these so, so bad.

[phorx]

Pretty cool to see a new material in the mix!  60% isn't my fav size, but I hope this is a success.

[Eddie_Caps]

What is the weight of corian compared to aluminum?

[Atredl]

What is the weight of corian compared to aluminum?

Looks like Corian weighs 63% as much as 6061 Aluminum.

Corian: 1.7 g/cm^3
Aluminum: 2.7 g/cm^3

That said, weight isn’t everything when it comes to determining quality.
