Yes, it is a good idea.
I don't know if someone made one themselves, but you can just use something like this (http://www.amazon.com/Standoff-Hex-Head-Screw-Pcs/dp/B00CTWD4EQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1382490240&sr=8-5&keywords=standoffs).
I would gladly get some depending on the price, if you made one :)
I did this in a couple of minutes
(I could also add holes so that you could bolt it on to your ergodox using the existing screwholes, but you may need to buy slightly longer bolts)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/YcQ8MeG.jpg)

I would like to bolt it to the edox itself.

Exactly, I can line up the holes to the existing holes and then bolt everything together.
you guys ever think of re-purposing 2 android tablet covers and use them as a tenting base?

That looks like a great idea!Thanks. All I really need is an ergodox so that I can make some prototypes. I ordered mine on Massdrop recently, but the wait-time is pretty pretty long.
Just from eyeballing the 3d render, I'd recommend reducing the overall height. It's already a really tall keyboard, and if you tent it in such a way that the lower edge of the case is even higher off the ground...
Subscribed.Thanks, although It will take at least a month until I'll be able to print constantly. I have access to printers in my school, but I've also ordered my own printer which I am patiently waiting on.
As an alternative, the Kinesis v3 lifters suggested by Glod have served me pretty well for the last 6 months, plus it has 3 different angles @ 5, 10 and 15 degrees. I use velcro, but someone handy could probably just drill a few holes in the bottom plate and the lifters if they want to secure it using bolts.Hmm, are those all plastic parts? It might be possible to 3d print something similar to those as an option...

There is one topic already talking about this idea.
I don't remember where I saved the dammed link ...
The idea is simple: we need one design with less bridges, something between the original ErgoDox case and that acrylic one.
To be honest I said there that I would draw one case using this idea but I'm still trying to find some free time to make it.
The plate is almost done, now I'm drawing the bottom part of the case to fit into this plate ...
Yes, I do.There is one topic already talking about this idea.

I have all the dimensions for the original case, but I don't have any dimensions for the layered acrylic case. Do you have that?
I think the through-holes are positioned completely differently. Perhaps the holes where you mount the PCB are the same relative to one another, but the holes to bolt the layers together are completely different. I haven't found any accurate dimensions for that. I can definitely calculate it by digitally layering the drawing of the acrylic case on top of the original case and lining up the PCB mount through holes, but I would want to be 100% sure.Yes, I do.There is one topic already talking about this idea.

Last week I soldered one for LCS and I checked the case dimensions (massdrop acrylic case).
The acrylic case is almost the same one done by lister, only a few cosmetic changes.

I think you are right - I didn't checked the screw holes at all.I think the through-holes are positioned completely differently. Perhaps the holes where you mount the PCB are the same relative to one another, but the holes to bolt the layers together are completely different. I haven't found any accurate dimensions for that.
