MEK - Modular ergonomic keyboard

A. Module case - extra buttons, trackpad
B. Foot
C. Module bracket
D. Handle with brackets
E. Left console
F. Console bracket - Ball head joint for the left-right console
G. Module support
H. Right console

J. Ball head joint - thumb articulation
K. Thumb arm support
L. Bracket/ballhead joint for central console
M. Central console

O. Thumb arm support

The legs have wingnuts on the back side so I can adjust the height/slope, those can be moved to the front as needed
Already printed bunch of keycaps but I`m waiting for some filament samples to have those in various colors, I will post pictures later
Used about 40% from a 1kg roll, approx 40 components, not counting bolts/washers/nuts.
I will add the models soon so everyone can print their own.
Center console and the module will have custom keys/shortcuts/functionality.
An accountant wil be able to attach a different center console/module from a media editor or programmer.

This is work in progress.

iso:
Keycaps - A to Z, printed at 0.08, about 7hr, PLA.

Will fit Cherry MX/Gateron, enjoy.

Watching with interest  :D

iso:
Numbers, 1 to 12 and + -, printed at 0.08, about 3hr.

First layer is always jagged, looks ugly because needs to stick to the printer bed and has extra pressure on it, easily fixed with exacto and patience

iso:
Last night I glued all switches on the left/right console plus the thumb cluster
On the printer, the top row symbols, dedicated switch for each, no more holding shift/modifier, OBJ attached.
