I'm definitely interested. Not sure how it would effect the feel of the board just being the top case.. But I'm.definitely curious enough to find out

This sounds awesome!
Definitely interested, especially if black anodized will be available for a good price! :thumb:

any news?

Still working on the CAD. Haven't had a lot of time on my hands lately and neither had my CAD-pro friend. Sorry.

Would this work on the Novatouch TKL as well?
Yes, Novatouch and Rapid-i.

is this an aluminum replacement for the top plastic casing?
Yes.
However, this is just an interest check to see whether an actual group buy would be feasible. I think the interest part is looking pretty good so far.

This item will be pretty expensive and + shipping from Germany
Could be. Manufacturing in Germany or even the EU isn't a requirement as such.

Man this would be so amazing. Even though it is only the top case, im so ready to throw money at you.

Looking forward to see the prototype!

Any updates with this? Aren't many options for custom cases right now.

Well, sorry guys, I unfortunately cannot show any progress worth speaking of. Job and private life have been very time-consuming for the last months, I hope to get back to this project in two or three weeks.

As for sharing the CAD: this might be worth considering, it's certainly an option.

If you open source the file, this would be perfect.
