Minimalist Ergodox case

[profet]

So I decided to try my hand at modifying the Litster case.

My goal was to make my case fit on two sheets of 384mmx384mm sheets of acrylic while maintaining protection for the pcb, teensy, ports and I/O expander.

forgot to mention... keycaps arrive tomorrow... I'll take some more pics after I get them on.

Now with keycaps.

I'm liking the way the "floating keys" turned out.

Goddamn gorgeous. Do you plan on releasing the files?

[profet]

If people actually want them I would have no problem releasing them.

This board is actually for sale in the classified section.


I already have two ergodoxes but I enjoy building them.

I would also love to get these files

Here you go.

Here you go.

What thicknesses did you use for the different layers?

[profet]

4.5mm for middle layers and 3mm for top/bottom.

I also used:

• 6x M3 22mm screws
• 8x M3 14mm screws
• 14x M3 acorn nuts

I realize you posted this design over 3 years ago. But I'm curious what your feedback would be after using this case design after a while? Any cons to it? Does it allow more grime in under keys?

I realize it's been over 3 years since you posted this design, but I'm wondering if you have any feedback on it now? Does it have any cons to speak of? Does it allow more grime in under the keys perhaps? Otherwise I'm looking at doing my first ErgoDox build and this minimalist case design is ridiculously sweet looking. Thanks!

If anything, its a bit easier to clean the board.
