Title: Need ErgoDox to-scale SVG; Litster file not available
Post by: jamadagni on Wed, 29 July 2015, 13:46:35

Hello people. I'd like to have a to-scale SVG of the ErgoDox key positioning layout.

I looked under http://ergodox.org/Downloads.aspx but the link provided which seems may be useful in this regard: http://ergodox.org/Downloads/ErgoDox_Acrylic_Case_Designed_by_Litster.zip is broken and no long valid.

Can anyone please supply me with or point me to such a to-scale SVG? I did google and search here but without fruit...

No problem. Here you go.

Edit: Litster's original files had bugs in the orientation of Costar stabilisers for 2u thumb keys - I fixed them and uploaded a new archive.

Know that the design is for thick plates that the switches can't clip to - they are only friction-fitted in the plate, mounted vertically only to the PCB. LMK if you need help with doing any mods.

BTW. An alternative to Litster's case is the one by FalbaTech (http://falbatech.pl/): Proper 1.5mm metal plate and a machined white plastic case that is smaller.
Actually, you don't even need any plate with FalbaTech's case. The PCB supports PCB-mounted switches and stabilisers for the 2u keys are optional.

Thanks. I was successfully able to convert the DXF to SVGs using Inkscape. Specifically, for the key positions I got what I wanted from the Plate non-1u files – and I hadn't realized that there was an official variant using 1u keys for the outermost column – or is that your own addition?
