Post by: JackQn on Tue, 27 January 2026, 08:42:58

Facon 45
A 45-key keyboard.
A specialized layout that stays compatible with most base keycaps sets.
[attach=1]

When function meets expression.
Feature zipper is accenting on the front and at the charging port.
[attach=2]

Beyond the desk.
Side hooks are opening to interpretation.
[attach=3](with short leather strap)
[attach=4](with long leather strap)
[attach=5](with metal strap)

More details coming soon...

Thanks for checking out my design. I know it’s unusual, but I hope you love it.

That is a really clean print btw. Did you have to sand it to get that finish?

Love the design, the thoughtful choice of layout for compatibility, and the overall execution. Can't wait to see where this goes!

It was sanded roughly after printing by the factory and I sanded it again before painting.  :cool:
