Title: What I've got today - Skyblue 38GT Case
Post by: GON on Tue, 21 May 2013, 08:51:38
Today I've got back what I sent to anodizing company.

I release it here first as a member of GH. ;)
I have not posted this anywhere in the world.

You can see the Skyblue case.
I like it.

I add some more pics here...
I think I was the first who made an acrylic case as this...
I don't make acrylics as for now... It's too hard to make it beautiful.
These cases are different from others in that these have almost perfectly FLAT sides.

This looks great. Maybe I am dull, but especially the grey/brown-ish one looks amazing.

I'd be all over this if I liked 60% keyboards. The low-profile design is really nice.

Are all three pieces laser cut? If so how do the screws hold them together if there are no threads?

Looks like there's countersunk holes with threads on the edges. And then flat hex head screws. GON, I'm loving that low profile look. Great job ^__^

I don't use Laser for these cases.
Laser has difficulty in precise manufacturing.
So they are all CNC milled and as you guess they have thread on the bottom plate.


And there is no way to make MX switches fit to 2T AL plate if not CNC milled.
(Laser cannot make different depth but just making holes...)

I should have looked more carefully. I just noticed on picture 2 that it has been machined horizontally and not laser cut.

And PolyCarbonate that I use for mid-plate cannot be made into Keyboard cases with Laser cut. ;)

ㅋㅋ 그렇죠. 저도 적응하는데 시간 좀 걸렸습니다. 막상 적응하면 편해요;
프리뷰 로 하셔서 이미지 소스 넣는걸로 사진 넣으시면 편해요.

제가 곤님 하우징 소문좀 미리 냈습니당 ㅋㅋ

긱핵유저들이 곤님 하우징 많이들 좋아하던데, 쪽지 폭탄 받으실 수도 있겠네요 ㅋㅋ

여담으로, 곤님 하우징에 넣을 LED 오늘 도착했습니다 우하하~ 일단 학기부터 끝내고 완성해볼께요.

Oh... Hi Zenuty. ;)
