Some of you may remember I made a keyboard roof as there is a lost of dust in India. Thus before I actually got to building my Ergodox, I knew I needed a solution for the dust. A keyboard roof like last time wasn't going to work as well as that only involved one bend at the top and one at the bottom. I needed something more sophisticated. I thus took the acrylic layers of the ErgoDOX, removed the bolt holes and changed the layer ordering.
[attach=4] [attach=3] [attach=9] [attach=11]
To the bottom most layer of the cover (The one in contact with the keyboard), I added countersinks for the bolt heads, this actually helped get a ready good fit for the cover and it not fits just in place.
[attach=8] [attach=7] [attach=12]
I added one of the large holes for the keycap area on top as sort-of-a handle (Since I got the sheets for the case and cover cut myself, I had access to these). Infact, I have so many of the extras, I don't know what to do with them :P I countersunk the nuts for these, as I didn't want them scratching my keycaps.
[attach=6] [attach=10]
Also added washers to the fastening set (For both cover and case), to get a better fit.
[attach=13] [attach=14]
Some random shots of the cover
[attach=5]
Placed a switch in the mounting plate and added a keycap to see clearance. Plenty of space. Before anyone asks, the keyboard is not complete as I am yet to receive all the parts for the keyboard since I am sourcing all of them individually myself.

Nice work! I take it that you're planning to build an acrylic ERGODOX case?
-
Yes.
Waiting for electronics to arrive.

Good luck!

Looks good, your counter sunk screws look pretty clean too :D

Hmm... I wonder if something like this could be made for the ErgoGP.

Easily, I already have a design in mind :D
