Moar 3d printing! you can get really cool keyboard component that you cannot get with 3 axis CNC.
Moar 3d printing! you can get really cool keyboard component that you cannot get with 3 axis CNC.With a bit of creativity there's almost nothing on a keyboard you can do on a 3d printer you can't do on a 3 or 5 axis mill, I don't even think we really need 5 axis most of the time.

The only thing 3d printers really offer that's different is the ability to do honeycomb/cavities and that's not something we often see on keyboards anyhow.
Carbon Fiber, would make for some awesome low weight portable boards.
Better factory lube, more of it, more consistent, if done right, there's little need to lube and yet too many need more lube. No reason a factory can't do it.
Better stabs... I think there's a LOT of room for improvement here and it's one area almost no one has tackled.
I'd also love to see manufacturers, and hobbyist cable makers embrace magnetic connectors. Many of us have switched to them (Netdot gen 10 most common) and refuse to go back.
Oh, and having inventory... Remember when things were in stock?Show Image(https://cdn.geekhack.org/Smileys/solosmileys/laugh.gif)

m0ar 5-axis CNC.

Along the same lines I'm looking forward to what designs metal 3D printing would enable. Hopefully in the next 3-5 years it will be economically feasible for consumers/hobbyists.To own a machine, very, very unlikely.
To own: unlikely, but not impossible. I know a makerspace that bought one.. and then realised that they couldn't use it, for the reasons you mentioned. :rolleyes:Along the same lines I'm looking forward to what designs metal 3D printing would enable.

All that said... You can sort of do metal with a common desktop printer.There is also the "Lost PLA" method. Print in cheap PLA filament, and then cast it like the "Lost Wax Method": pack casting sand around it to make a mould with sprues and pour molten metal down the sprues. The print will melt, being replaced with metal in the same shape.
They load the filament with metal powder and a bonding agent, you print it, then either leave it as is, which is not bad and looks and feels like metal or you can use a furnace for casting or ceramics to either fuse it all together with the bonding agent or burn out the bonding agent in a sand box and melt the metal together.
I would say stock. More things in stock, so it could be bought without waiting for GB to complete.
NumLock "ON" as default and the LED indicator light glows when NumLock is "OFF"

Do you agree on Durock v2 being the best?I haven't tried them.
About the Netdot gen 10, what are the drawbacks? It seems too good to be true. Having the plug constantly connected to the phone, and to the keyboard, seems a good idea. Plus, nobody is stealing my cable anymore...The American Amazon has stellar reviews and tons of us here use them on our keyboards and more. I have 6(?) Gen 10 cords and about 10 tips, plus about half that in gen 3. My only complaint with the 3 was limited top selection and it was one sided. I also broke one tips magnet.
The netdot seem to have gotten way worse in the last generations... se the last reviews

There is one downside and that is it sticks out.What about a phone case?
I do NOT recommend it for phones, if you drop your phone and it happens to land on that connector it will absolutely wreck your phone. I mean bent frame, smashed screen, broken pcb. I HIGHLY recommend wireless charging whenever possible (Ikea has a decent one for about $5).
The tips stick out 3mm (1/8in), you would need a pretty thick case to reduce the risk but even then it's not likely to protect it properly.There is one downside and that is it sticks out.What about a phone case?
