Title: [IC] HHKB Style 60% Case
Post by: Dotdash32 on Thu, 14 January 2016, 17:17:30
HHKB Style 60% Case

Update: Way too long later, are there 6u HHKB style options?

Basically, there have been a lot of other MX HHKB options that have come out lately, but Ideus posted recently saying there aren't as many 6u variants.  I've been out of the keyboard case game, starting college, and I am wondering if there is interest in 6u or 7u versions of MX HHKB/WKL 60% cases. 

Vote here! (https://strawpoll.com/bw4c8a4f)

New and super overdue update!

I've been in contact with Massdrop, and the group buy will probably go throught them.  So the quantity caps I was talking about probably won't exist, and it should be a higher quality project than a high schooler can machine.  I'll try to post before it goes up, so you all can hop on the drop.  Thank you all so much for supporting the idea through this long process!

Update that should have happened to the OP a long time ago:

At this point, the prototype is pretty much done, and I'm gearing up for a GB.  The case has evolved to be either HHKB or Winkeyless 60% style, with either an acrylic or aluminum bottom plate. 
Several different powder coating colors are in the mail for testing, and I'll post an update with those different colors.  Right now, it's looking like some red, black, purple, green, orange, blue, and white colors will be options.

One of my big goals with this is to run the production myself, both because I want the experience of working with a machine, and it lets me control the costs more and keep it cheap.  But because of my limited access to machines and their small power, I'm going to be putting a limit on the GB so I don't over promise.  More on that later.

The keys all actuate, and the case uses the standard hole pattern of a Poker.  PCB's are available from several locations.  A plate with either a universal switch mounting pattern or HHKB or winkeyless specific will work. 

Old OP
A Prototype of the case, with some feeback from this redddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/40w0uk/interest_check_hhkb_style_60_case/ (https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/40w0uk/interest_check_hhkb_style_60_case/).  The goal is to provide a case with similar "lips" to the HHKB.  These cases are designed to have support for standard Poker mounting holes and PCB's, with special compability for the HHKB key cap layout.

The original prototype album is here http://imgur.com/a/s4LKN (http://imgur.com/a/s4LKN).  A few changes were made, specifically to make the case more square.  All the colorizations are for ease of part differentiation, and are should be customizable on the final product.  The bottom will either be a sheet of aluminum or acrylic, depending on the desire for case lighting.

Some more pictures:

This is a relavitly new idea, I got it while talking to dignityhole on reddit.  He suggested a case that had the lips and aesthetics of the HHKB, and I thought it would be fun to design it.  I popped it up on reddit, and was recommended to come here.  Thoughts?

Any chance of a non HHKB version with winkey blockers?

Like this but only the 60% part.

I'd be down for HHKB style as well tho.

I can do other layouts as well.  If you can get me a KLE link, I can start to work on it.  The layout should be pretty similar, and about the same cost too.

Does the case have any angle to it or is it just a square?
I'd suggest you give it some slant and cut down size however you can but its a great start :D

Post by: Dotdash32 on Thu, 14 January 2016, 18:44:25
The case will probably have holes for feet on the bottom.  Making a slant is a lot more work, and the machines I have access to for prototyping don't have good 4/5th axes.
The size is actually probably a bit under, it gives almost no space around the keys (snug up against the .75" spacing for the walls) and there isn't much else.  There isn't that much more to remove.

Here is the prototype of the Winkeyless case.  Compatible with the same bottom case, so that should help MOQ's.

Two follow up questions about plates:
1. 6u or 7u for the HHKB style layout?  There are some 6u spacebars out there, but not a lot.  It looks like a couple other buys are doing it for 7u.
2. Is there an interest for plates at the same time?  I can get some water jet, but PCB's are another matter.  My experience is in mostly mechanic/machining work, and LeandreN has got a great system for the plates/PCB's anyway.

I would definitely not make it 6u for the HHKB. While it would be good to cater to the rest of the HHKB layout, making the 6u would kind of negate the whole point of building an MX board in HHKB fashion, because then none of those keycap sets would fit on it either. Ideal bottom row would probably 1, 1.5, 6.25, 1.5, 1

7u could look a little out of place. I would accomodate for what the popular PCBs out there can handle, SPRiT, Sentrant, etc.

As far as plates, there are a whole lot of options out there. I would concentrate on the case first, and just add them if they make sense to add price wise for you and buyers.

As I understand it, this is a case made to fit most 60% keyboards out there, with blockers just allowing the keyboard to look more complete than many builds look now with either PCB showing through the plate, or a simple plate covering the PCB. Right?

Finally, if that is the case, I feel like it would be an obvious addition to simply make a standard 60% case option with no blockers just so people can get a nice case for their existing 60%'s.

I can see your point, 6.25u is easier.  I don't use a 60% without the bottom row all that much, and haven't been able to experience the pain of searching for 6u spacebars.

Yes, it is a case with blockers over areas without keys.  The original goal of the project was to fulfill that niche that has those gaps, I'm not really sure if a version without the blockers justifies the complexity of the case.  At this point, it would be rather expensive, and does not seem to do something that existing 60% cases don't already.  There are several other aluminum cases out there, and most (if not all) are one piece, not this roundabout two part construction.  That said, most metal cases probably don't support case lighting, and powder coating is the likely finish for these.  I haven't seen that many powder coated cases.  Is that a concern for people?

Ok, good to know.

And yeah, if making a standard case isnt viable, then by all means don't go that route. it isn't like there aren't a ton of choices already for 60% cases, it was just a suggestion if the price and work load were right.

But I do think having that 6.25 space, the 2.5u spacing on either side of it (users can configure 1.25, 1.25, 6.25, 1.25, 1.25 OR 1, 1.5, 6.25, 1.5, 1, depending on their own preferences), these are the most common and will allow people to use the sets they want. Obviously the Winkeyless should be just as you already seem to have it!

I can do the case, the geometry project works out pretty quickly.  If it works out right, the tooling/machine pathing will be the same for the bottom half of the cases, so the other part in multiple variations should be doable.

I was messing with the KLE link, and 2.5u spacing doesn't quite fit on either side.  After the 6.25u spacebar and ~4 x 1.25u mods, there is only 3.75u left over.  I looked at the Spirit PCB on mk.com, but I can't find an exact keymap of what is supported.  Is the spacebar just in the same location as it is normally?  That would give it a shift over slightly.

I think the SPirit FaceW does, but I'm not 100% sure.  LeandreN also has a GB/IC thread for a similar layout, just without this case style.

I have designs for HHKB and winkeyless at this point, I don't think both blockers can be supported on the same case.  As it is, it should be possible to do both, depending on how many people want the winkeyless.  The bottom part of the case and half of the top case would have the same machining, so only the top halves have to have different paths.

The little rounded corners from the imgur album will not be there.  I've edited the design to add metal around them, making the sides of the case one straight line.  There need to be screw holes for the two part case attachment, so the holes are still there, but the total width of the sides of the case increased.

As far as plates, there are a whole lot of options out there. I would concentrate on the case first, and just add them if they make sense to add price wise for you and buyers.

I agree with this, mostly since I like PCB mount or acrylic plates but I'd like to see how much the case might be before thinking about other parts :))

Plus Leandre has some nice one's already, might as well put your time into just a case first.

Since the standard Poker mount is to the PCB, you don't have to use a plate.  Also, acrylic plates, with their increased thickness, wouldn't fit in the case without a spacer on the bottom.  It's the kind of thing that's easy to design and cut, but only if people are interested in it.

Also, Swillkb and "Project Geometry" are useful tools, so custom multi-layout plates shouldn't be impossible.  But why reinvent the wheel? PCB's are much harder though

There isn't any PCB that allows for that; which is why I was confused when I read that reply.
7u is the only way to go.

There isn't any PCB that allows for that; which is why I was confused when I read that reply.
7u is the only way to go.

I wasn't sure either, thanks for the confirmation to go 7u.  Should work out a lot better for both HHKB and Winkeyless styles.

An update coming right up!

Did some prototyping this week, and got some interesting data. 
(http://[attach=1])
Height comparison of different style of caps.  It looks like Cherry/OEMs are just a bit shorter than SP.  The height of the case will be adjusted for that.

(http://[attachim=2])(http://[attachim=3])
Cutout tests for corner radii.  For CNCing, trying to find the largest possible radius, and a .125" endmill should work perfectly for every keycap I could test.  SP has the most "square caps," and need the most clearance.

(http://[attach=4])
But I'm an idiot and didn't bring the keycaps for testing at the Laser cutter.  Cut something out with .25" corners, and the keycaps get stuck (http://[attach=5]) on the sides.
I'll go back tomorrow and try the case out again with the smaller corners.  Got a real plate so the final measurements are getting close!

Also, the FaceW PCB does support 7u spacebars with both HHKB or Winkeyless mods.

Would absolutely love to grab one of these for my next build! Did you account for the short R shift w/ FN key? Or did you just put a regular shift over that spot in the prototype because it's easier to do it that way :p?

Also my only suggestion would be to minimize the amount of excess lip, height, and width. It'd help give it the portability we all seek for in these builds but maybe you could add a spot for a brass weight attachment on the underside to give it more weight for people who'd like that?

Also what about rounded corners?

Also what about rounded corners?

The short right shift + fn key combo takes up the same amount of space as the normal shift.  I didn't have a spare 1.75 u key, so I made do with the longer one.  I have an Infinity, and the spacing is the same.

I'm also hoping to minimize the lip, but I didn't have all of my drawings when working on that prototype.  My primary goal with it was to define the internal contours, as those are going to be the most related to the functionality.

The bottom is likely going to be acrylic to let under case lights shine through, but it should be possible to have an option to make the whole bottom metal.  Adding a section for a removable brass weight is a little harder on a transparent material like plastic.  There are only going to be about 10 holes on the bottom, so CNC'ing out those holes for a weighted plate is totally doable.

Rounded external corners are a plan, I just focused on the internal contours, and didn't fillet the outsides.  The current plan is to give it around .125" to .25" corners.

Just like kmac happy.

I wasn't aware that this existed.  The person who inspired this on Reddit mentioned that he could not find any that had built in lips, and most people just used switch blockers.  At the same time, however, those are designed to work with a special plate that has tabs specifically for the case.  The plan with this case is to have it compatible with all Poker style plates and PCB's, without the need to buy a special plate along with the case.  This should allow more customization (if someone wanted a mostly ortholinear board with blockers perhaps).  It also changes the seam of the case to be lower down, and will have options to show under case lighting.

I understand that, but that is one more thing for a GB to have to buy.  LeadreN has a great system going for PCB's and plates, and I have no desire to eat into his sector, nor to make this more complicated.  If it gets a lot of attention, those options may be added, but I have no intention of doing it now.

My goal is to make a case that is as compatible as possible, so that people who are modding their keyboards do not have to purchase a complete package.  If someone wanted an HHKB/Atomic crossover, this case would be compatible, but the KMAC is very limited.  It looks like a fine product, but are there current places to buy it?

I think what he's trying to say is that he wants it to be like a TEX case for example.

You can put a Poker in & swap it with a V60 if you wanted since their plates have holes & no mounting notches on the sides.

For the KMAC case you can really only use it if you have that special plate with the side mount holes.

How much is one of these likely to cost? I'm interested but won't confirm that I will buy one yet.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly how much it's going to cost at this point.  The software I use for estimation of machining time is based off of a personal CNC machine, which is much smaller than what I am hoping to use to make these.  There is a limit on the amount of material that can be removed (only about 6 in^3/min when very aggressive) on that machine, where other machines might reach anywhere from 10 to 20 in^3/min.  So at this point it is rather hard to say, I can get more information as the prototypes move along. 

Sorry I can't give a solid cost estimate right now, but I don't want to have to go back on it later.  However, there is a VERY good chance that it will be less than the solid aluminum HHKB (Topre) case.  I'm pretty certain that it will be less than those $400 ish, hopefully a lot more.  I would say the goal here is sub $150, but it will depend.

Thank you for following, I've got some time and measurements to put into the case very soon.
Title: Re: [IC] HHKB Style 60% Case
Post by: BaconEggandCheeseBagel on Thu, 18 February 2016, 16:57:14
So the reason why the Topre aluminum case was so expensive wasn't because of the frame per-say, but actually due to the integration of the plate that is unique to the HHKB. Cutting and milling of something that intricate really pushed the price.

Since this case is literally just that - and doesn't include the plate in case, I'm sure it'll be much much closer to the ~100-ish range given previous cases sold on here.... I could be totally wrong though.

I do absolutely doubt that it would ever be anywhere near 400, let alone 250....

Pretty much right on the nail. Looking at pictures of that case, it looked like they needed a 5+ axis machine, along with really small bits.  Small bits are a pain to use because the flutes don't allow for very good chip evacuation, and the feed rates become very slow.  And CAD/CAM'ing it would have also been a pain.

I have done some CAM work before, and am in contact with someone who has a very nice shop, so the program will be pretty optimized.  Not to bash on that HHKB case, but it was a massive undertaking that got very complicated from what I can see.

Quick Update

Did some prototyping with the laser cutter, got the internal cutouts to fit the keys really well.  Added some rounded corners as well.  Whether or not you all want the top edges rounded (filleted) is optional, it looks pretty nice as it is with the square edges.

(http://i.imgur.com/lTfe8tf.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/JIqWVLc.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/ApxfCwT.jpg)

I contacted a machine shop about getting the parts made, hopefully should be able to get the CAM started by the end of this week.  I also got access to the more powerful laser cutter, so doing the bottom acrylic plates should be super fast and hopefully really cheap. 

I have designs for the Winkeyless variant as well, will probably get that laser cut soon.  It will be an adaptation of the top case, and will have the same cutouts for PCB and plate.

Here is a Strawpoll for what parts of the case you want.  Please choose the top case style, bottom plate, and feet.  This is just for preliminary findings, it's not an order form.

Not quite a fortune, but the acrylic flat plates I can probably cut for little more than the cost of the material, and the metal flat plates would be pretty easy to CNC mill or waterjet.  When we get into a slanted base, it adds more milling complexity, but I can look into it.  The goal is around an 11 degree angle, so the issue mainly becomes finding a good way to machine the edges so that they still sit flush with the other case edges.  I'm getting in contact with a machinist, there should be a way to do it with one more fixture. (Edit: making flat/angled bottom more clear)

I for one would definitely be interested in rounded corners, but I do have to say that the square corners/edges look great!

What part do you mean?  It wasn't very clear in the update, but do you like the rounded edges in the same plane as the key travel or the edges that sit next to the keys, and would be horizontal on the desk?

I see.  The plan is to use a corner rounding endmill over the edges to give it that rounded off shape.  It's in the CAD files, but the laser cutter prototypes don't have a way to round them out.  So it will be rounded out in production.

At this stage, there are three different case options, one with the blockers for the HHKB (1.5u on the edges), one with blockers for Winkeyless (1u in between 2 1.5u keys), and an option for one without blockers.  If there is interest in the standard 60% style (no blockers), it can probably be made.  There are fewer advantages for doing a two part case without blockers, but it would allow for some nice two-toning and backlighting if you're into that.

The mounting holes on the bottom plate are based off of the standardized Poker plate, so a blockerless style would be compatible with other keyboards, like the Pok3r and v60.

Thank you for the explanation, that clarifies pretty much everything. Actually the 1.5 blocks at each side are the best option, that one most HHKB-Layout users need. The winkeyless is interesting but I think a bit less aesthetic, and the one with no blocks, well, there are a bunch of options like that that it barely justified.

On a side note, looks like Viper v2 was teased (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61227.1500;topicseen), but it isn't using symmetric design like V1 or the 1.5u blockers in this thread.

can you guys please explain to me what is the advantages of HHKB blocked style has over the no blocker 60% one?
Is it just for the aesthetic reason?
In term of plate and pen compatibility, both are equal right?

A case with no blocks is just another regular sixty case you can find in some other places, the HHKB case does not exist so far as proposed in this thread: Advantages? well, there is no one feature that may interest everyone interested, I'd say it is mainly aesthetics.

The hhkb style case with outside blockers is for aesthetics and of course it would need a pcb and plate that are capable of a symmetrical hhkb style bottom row with 7u spacebar.

The hhkb case will not be compatible with standard layout keyboards such as poker or v60.
“Poker style mounting holes” means it's compatible with aftermarket PCBs that utilise THOSE SAME mounting holes/placement as the poker and other similar keyboards.

If you like this and want to use it on a poker or v60 then obviously you would just get the standard one with no blockers. That's if it goes ahead.

I may be wrong in all of this, please correct if so.

Thanks guys for the answers.

However:
For a poker , why would I just get the standard one with no blockers?
Isn't this blocker case meant to be use on a poker, and tries to resemble the HHKB look ?

By the way, will GH60 boards which is 60%, work as well?

Any PCB with 1.25u modifiers only will not fit this case, it will be only for those PCBs that support 1.5u, 1u modifiers with 7u space bar like winkeyless, GON Nerd60, GH60 and the likes.

If you want to have a two part case that is overly complicated, basically.  I don't expect that many people to buy it, but feeds my ego tells me more about the possibilities. 
It is meant to be used on a Poker style board, but the Poker, Poker 2, and Pok3r are not directly compatible with the key blockers.  Again, the open top one would be, but there are plenty of other cases that are also compatible.  Unless you have crazy amounts of case underlighting, or want to see your PCB, you're better off going with those.

Do you know which keyboard's PCB uses 1.25 modifiers?

You'll want to look at the spacing of the pins.  Lot's of PCB's will have two holes very close to each other.  This is usually an indication of supporting mutliple layouts.  Otherwise, you can take a rule and measure for the spacing.  Standard key spacing is 0.750", so you can calculate where 1.5u keys should land.  Or you can use a keycap set to approximate the spacing, but it can be a little less accurate due to variations in cap footprints (some are .707" across, and other are about .720" across).

As far as I can tell, the GH60 has options for doing the HHKB and Winkeyless layouts on the PCB's, and the plates as well.

I'm working on it, the CNC guy is busy, and I'm sending over the CAD files tonight.  Depending on what he says, it could be close.  I want at least one prototype done before this goes to full on GB status, so it can roll quickly from there.  I'll be taking the acrylic prototype to the Kiibohd meetup on Saturday if anyone wants to see, I'll be there for about an hour at the start.
Title: Re: [IC] HHKB Style 60% Case
Post by: ideus on Fri, 26 February 2016, 20:00:24
can you guys please explain to me what is the advantages of HHKB blocked style has over the no blocker 60% one?
Is it just for the aesthetic reason?
In term of plate and pen compatibility, both are equal right?
The hhkb style case with outside blockers is for aesthetics and of course it would need a pcb and plate that are capable of a symmetrical hhkb style bottom row with 7u spacebar.

The hhkb case will not be compatible with standard layout keyboards such as poker or v60.
“Poker style mounting holes” means it's compatible with aftermarket PCBs that utilise THOSE SAME mounting holes/placement as the poker and other similar keyboards.

If you like this and want to use it on a poker or v60 then obviously you would just get the standard one with no blockers. That's if it goes ahead.

I may be wrong in all of this, please correct if so.

Any PCB with 1.25u modifiers only will not fit this case, it will be only for those PCBs that support 1.5u, 1u modifiers with 7u space bar like winkeyless, GON Nerd60, GH60 and the likes.
Do you know which keyboard's PCB uses 1.25 modifiers?

Commercially available fully assembled sixty boards have 1.25u modifiers, if the bottom of the keyboard has 7 modifier key caps of the same size they are 1.25u each and the space bar is 6.25u that is 15 units in total.

I would really love a case like this to go with a new build with Leandren hhkb style plates. The thing is that we know it won't fit on standard 60% keyboard, so it only leaves the option to people with custom build with no switches soldered on the mods or new builds. It woulld we great though if we could have this gb around the same time as leandrens so we can reach MOQ more easily.

I will try to coordinate with either him or another GB to get the plates and PCB's run at the same time.  It has crossed my mind, and I am working on it.

Did you get the samples? Any updates?

No samples yet, the machine shop guy is really busy.  I'm trying to lock in a time I can help him at his shop to do menial tasks so he can do more work, and build a working relationship. 

I spent some of last week making a punch for another keyboard job, that should help and generate some capital for this endeavor (moar prototypes!)  The CAD's have been sent off, and the CAM should be underway. 

(http://i.imgur.com/EWYNzmW.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/L3nflmS.jpg)

Made a design for the slanted case.  At this point, it should meld almost seamlessly with the top part of the case.  It is also a bit bland, so welcoming ideas for designs along the side.  There are recesses on the screw holes so that the heads are hidden and parallel to the top case.  It does leave a little bit of a strange look because of the fillet, but it's sort of one or the other.

(http://i.imgur.com/Bb46R2Q.jpg)

Little feeties for tenting up the case.  Will probably try to see if TEX feet will work, or just machine them on the lathe.  Also added little divots for keeping the rubber bumpers in place.   Those will probably be laser engraved into the case, with the possibility of doing other designs on a custom order basis.  I'll do some checking into this as well.

It's getting close, thanks for keeping up with the thread!

The main advantage of this case compared with the sandwich style ones, like GON, Sprit and Winkeyless, is that it can be used with PCBs with 1.5,1,1.5,7,1.5,1,1.5 optional bottom row, with no need for a plate; also, it has the advantage over Viper that it does not require a special PCB, please keep those advantage and do not turn it into a replica of the currently available cases.

Damn, the slant design would be fantastic.
I guess some ideas would be to go with the classic "\___" cut off in the back, a la HHKB?
Even the usual Poker side cut offs would be great.

Haven't checked back on this thread in a while and really love to see that this is still going strong!  :thumb:

Regarding rounded edges, I think this is definitely preferable over having square/hard ones.
However I feel like it looks almost too round for my taste in the current mockups.

A rounded edge with a slightly smaller radius could be the best of both worlds, to break the hard edge while still maintaining that clean and straight look of square edges imo.

Also while I like the flat acrylic bottom, Im not a big fan of the current design for a milled bottom.
It looks kinda bland since the bottom just follows along the shape of the top of the case, especially on the back, making it look like a big block with a angled bottom.

I think a good start for an angled bottom would be to create a more separated look of top and bottom part of the case, by for example having the back of the bottom angled 'inwards' in contrast to the back of the top part being angled 'outwards'.

In general throwing in some angles and shapes to create a more separated look should definitely help to create a more pleasing design and put more focus on the top part to maintain the clean looks of the flat bottom version.  :thumb:

Man I just found this IC and already join Infinity 60 simply because it's easiness (1x purchase from 1 vendor) and seeing that Viper won't make a comeback. Really like to have one with split right shift and 2x 1u rightest top row with Viper's symmetrical bottom closing.

If I know this before Infinity 60 my route will be GH60 PCB + LeandreN plate + this case then put lubed 65g Zealios and Granite keycaps on top of it. Then I could die in peace!

Exactly, we basically need just a pcb, switches and stabs to get a new build done.

Want this to move forward!! Probably will buy a HHKB plate from LeandreN as well as the GON PCB and stabs just to get that portion out of the way.

cmd - you might be able to save some money just buying a standard universal 60% plate, since the corners will be covered anyway and wouldn't require an HHKB style plate.

That being said - you could also opt to just support a community member like LeandreN!

Quick  update for everyone:
My contact at the machine shop hasn't gotten back to me, so I'm going to try and do the prototype on a smaller mill.  It'll take a bit longer to cut, but it should help to keep moving forward.

I already joined Leandren GB for HHKB Orange Plates, so please add orange color option!

I'm thinking powder coating, so there should be quite a few options.  https://www.powderbuythepound.com/ (https://www.powderbuythepound.com/) is a good place to look and try to color match.  My personal favorites are "textured" ones, as they are super resistant to finger prints, and are a bit like pebbly PBT.

Another thing that is on my mind is to try and machine plates out of aluminum, but that's on the back burner until the prototype is done!  I'll try for the slanted case as well, but that angle is going to be a bit hard to get.  Hopefully I can update you all again this weekend.

Fast update: Mid progress on machining prototype.

Got to do some cutting this morning, will probably go and finish up tonight.  Few things going forward that should be fixable, but here's where we stand.

(http://imgur.com/wLcutLG.jpg)  (http://imgur.com/TWq1luL.jpg)

Massive chips!  Was running 450 thou axial with 150 thou radial.  The machine almost stalled, so that was fun.  Worked to decrease the feed, but it's going to be slow.  Not something that concerns all of you, but it's going to make it a bit slower for prototypes, and I'm going to need another machine shop to do the production run.

(http://imgur.com/BAr3NzE.jpg)  (http://imgur.com/W3MzERZ.jpg)

Overall the shape is coming along pretty well.  The area inside the rim is going to be machined away, so those lines are going to go away.  I didn't set up a finishing pass on this first run, I'll do that when I get back on the machine.  Should help eliminate the smear on the sides too.  However, if the dimensions work, it should be mostly just CAM and machining finalization.  I have a plan for the slant case.  Involves using another part to change the angle of the machining face, should work out alright. 

TL;DR: Fixing machining things, designs is looking A-OK! ;D

Update after a night of machining and a day of reflection (note: the following is not totally relevant to all of you, but just a reason for the delay):

Workholding is going to be the next big issue I need to tackle, that caused the prototype case to be thrown from the vise once and move during the operation twice.  As the internal pocket is machined, the side walls get thinner and thinner.  Since I'm holding the part by the long ends (next to the space bar), there is a lot of thin material that can act like a spring.  Since aluminum is pretty shifty, it starts to deform, and instead of the whole vise gripping the part, the part bends so that only the corners of the vise are gripping it.  This does not provide enough force to combat the cutting forces and torque from the cutter, and the part moves.  If it's not fixed, the cases won't actually be able to fit keys.  I'm working on this, and have some ideas on how to do it.

Moving forward, it probably means I'll have to make a jig to hold the part vertically.  This will counter the bending by pushing the force onto the areas that are still strong because of vertical thickness.  It should be simple-ish to make, but that might take another weekend or so.  I'm also looking to find a machine shop to do production at, they probably have the experience to recognize this issue earlier  :(

Also damaged my roughing endmill because I was running it too fast in the morning.  It was cutting the aluminum so fast that the bit was pulled into the material as it cut around.  This became a problem because the bottom of the machine path was about 0.1 inches above the vise jaws.  However, the bit got pulled down more than that and hit the jaws.  Surprising, it got pushed back up by the hardened steel and continued cutting.  Until it reached a pocket, where it had to enter the material vertically.  Turns out the bottom of the cutter got scalloped by the steel and the bit can't really plunge/helix into stock very well.  I was able to get it in by slowing down the feedrate and stopping midway through as the spindle started to sound like it was about to explode, but a pain overall.  As a result, I had to slow down the entire feedrate.  From talking to the consultants at the shop, the feed would have worked on a machine more rigid than the one I used (no other CNCs were available at that location).  So I'm looking for another machine to do it at the earlier feedrate.  (Faster feed means less time = less cost)

So going forward is going to be about making a few minor modifications to the creation process of the case, the design looks fine.  All the keys on my 60% actuate fine when in the case.  No bits of metal are stuck touching the caps, preventing their motion.  The drill holes to attach to the bottom case look fine, and the sides are nice and thin.

I'll try to keep you all updated on the process of machining out both the top case and the slanted bottom.  I've got ideas for workholding, they just need to be finalized!  I'm also interested to hear what color options you all are thinking.

Very interesting read, always nice to get some insight into the cnc/milling process. We definitely take for granted the nuances and complexity of milling and this info explains why milling is such a central and often times expensive aspect of a new project / gb!


Keep up the amazing work!!!

Do you think we could have colours other than ordinary colors that appear all the time with other plates ?

Or is the colour choice quite limited ?

Did some thinking about setups: My current thought is to do it in 3.

Drill alignment holes and mill back pocket
(http://i.imgur.com/OHjw5LI.jpg)

Flip, attach using holes drilled in 1 (which have been tapped by hand); mill top pocket and contour upper edges
(http://i.imgur.com/eiAVdMZ.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/8jjZ9m3.jpg)

Flip, attach using blockers; contour lower edge (that has holes)
(http://i.imgur.com/b9U2S0J.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/yW8rTaF.jpg)

To use just one fixture plate, I'm planning to use screws to mount in and act as poles for the case to rest on.  The tapped holes on the case will provide the clamping force downward, but the screws on the side will stop sideways movement, which would ruin the part.  The screws let me do two set ups on the same plate. 

If this works, the same fixture plate should work for production too.  My fingers are crossed that this works!  It's be a learning experience for me (I'm planning to study this, but we don't have any work fixturing/machining classes at my school).  Thanks for keeping tuned in.

What specific colors (shades of orange) are you all thinking?  Can someone color match which one LeandreN is using?  My guess is that it would be on this page: https://www.powderbuythepound.com/oranges/ (https://www.powderbuythepound.com/oranges/)

So looking at this and going off of what you said, are you planning on creating your own plate? The more I thought about this the more I thought that your case is much different than what LeandreN is trying to accomplish. His plates and PCBs are sort of universal. I think if I look at your design, the case is almost like a viper (more unique - which I prefer)... Are you going to have more than just orange ??

Still planning to use normal key switch plates and use the same mounting system.  The plate in the photos is only to hold the part while it is cut, and would not be in the final product. 
I'm trying to keep it as universal as possible, all the measurements are based off of off the shelf components, but while making the case itself look as unique as possible.

I already have black and red textured powders, which I adore.  I have seen a lot of interest in the orange, but by all means, find another color.  If there are more people for different colors, the easier it becomes to get them.  The plan is to do the actual coating myself, so the main price barrier is getting the powder.  A half pound is maybe $15 plus shipping, so the minimum quantities are going to be pretty small.

How about deep blue and some some of grey (darker than silver)?? For the blue, maybe something like the blue that is present on the skidata? I will find some good pictures of the color. Okay so then the universal plate from LeandreN would be good? I might have him add another plate and PCB to my order if that is the case.

Looking great DotDash. Appreciate the step-by-step of the milling mounting.

Perhaps it's best for dotdash to supply us with a website link that sells the powder (or the one that he would be interested in purchasing from) and then we can make choices based on those options?

I'm not really into the idea of an orange case, but seems like there is a bit of interest. My vote would definitely be for a black-blue type color!

The best place is probably https://www.powderbuythepound.com/ (https://www.powderbuythepound.com/) since they have just about every color thinkable.

As much as it would help in the short term, I'm hoping to use much bigger tools for the production runs.  Plus, this should help keep the overall cost down.  I'll probably just get one replacement for the broken bit and then add a small development fee into the price.

Finally got the tooling I needed in.  So after the last round of prototyping, I damaged my main roughing (material removing)end mill.  So I just got a new one in the mail, and it should speed up the process quite a bit.  3 flute solid carbide will just tear through all this aluminum.  Got to do a small test with it on another project (manual mill, so the curves of the case were out of the question  :( ), and the thing absolutely tore through the material. 

I also found a corner rounder, which will give the case the smooth rounded edge on the top.  Got to do a straight line test with it too, and I'm pretty happy with the results. 

(http://i.imgur.com/TYXHoVn.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/XOGhH4a.jpg)

Overall, it has a great edge finish, and I can slow it down just a bit for the finish pass.  The radius (3/32) is just about one of the smallest available, and it seems to match with most of my other keyboards pretty well. 

The process has taken longer than I would have liked, but the final machining details are coming together.  Once I get one made, we should be able to move forward to a GB.

I've been doing more CAD/CAM work, but it's not complete, and I'm doing my current estimates on a really small low power machine.  So the time will be less machining time, but more operating costs.  As of right now, the material is looking at about $4 a pound, so around $25 for each blank.  Then an hour to 90 minutes of machining and per part setup.  So my current overestimate is around $100-$150, if not less.  I can't really promise that, but I also hope for something less.

I apologize for this taking so long, a bunch of personal life stuff came up, and it's harder for me to get the time to prototype and finish the design. :(

Did some testing yesterday for removal rates, and some interesting findings.  Good news:  Found a great way to "face" off parts, taking large cuts off of the top.  Also found pretty reliable cutters for like $5, so that's solid.

Bad news is that the nice cutter that just shears away the metal is having some chattering issues.  As it passes through the metal, the cutter wobbles across the cut, producing crazy vibrations and a striated pattern on the edge.  This is just all around bad for the machine and cutter, so I'm looking into fixing it.  Shouldn't be a problem on production, but it's slowing down prototyping  :(

(http://i.imgur.com/afaxGI7.jpg)
Did I mention the horrifying shrieking sound it was making?  As if all the cats in California were contained in about half a cubic inch of speaker and yelling at me.  Not fun times and I got a bunch of weird looks for the sound.

The facing cutter is really impressive, I was able to run the thing around 20 inches a minute at 3.5k rpm.  At nearly 4 inches across and .060" deep, the chips are flying.  A finishing pass at can pretty much reflect fingers.  Hard to see in the image because of the shine and the glare, but it's so flat and nice!

As for more cost estimates, my program keeps crashing.  So far, it's looking to be about 30, 45, and 20 minutes of setup cutting for the three ops, but potentially less.  I'm trying to get the paths down, but a strange dependency in the setup file is preventing it from opening, and then the program crashes.  It's getting closer, and all the paths are pretty simple.  Apologies for the delays.

Any update OP?

Production is still in progress, it's just hard for me to get time on the machines right now.  School is ramping up right now, I have 3 AP tests next week.  The last time I went in for some work, a bit snapped because the machine took a nose dive instead of going up like the code said it was.  I'm trying to figure out why so that doesn't happen again.

I did get the fixture clamps made, and have the metal for the first prototype.  I've been trying to get in contact with the machine shop, and he hasn't really responded to me.

These delays are the main reason I don't want to take anyone's money until I know it's going to work.

I have the CAD files on Github, if you want to try and 3D print them.  I want to have a full machined prototype so that both the toolpath and fixture are going to work. https://github.com/dotdash32/Cases/tree/master/LLID%20Case (https://github.com/dotdash32/Cases/tree/master/LLID%20Case)

Hopefully once the summer hits, we'll be able to finish this up!

Ok, an update at long last.  Finally got out of school, and my time is freeing up.

(https://media.giphy.com/media/3oEjHYoA6CUJH2VCOk/giphy.gif)

This massive gif shows some of the work I've been doing to get the case ready to make.   At this point, I've got most of the computer side work done, and it should be machinable.  That said, I'm going through it to check settings and make sure nothing breaks.

I've also addressed that chatter problem with that one endmill, I have another coming that should help out a lot with that. 

As we move forward, my goal is to try and get this to GB stage by mid June, so I can get orders and hopefully send them out by August.

In the meantime, I would really appreciate if people could request colors for powder coating.  My plan is to get a number of different codes from PowderBuyThePound and order the sample packs.  I can then do some test bits of aluminum, and we should be able to do some comparisons.  A lot of people have talked about wanting orange, but I'm not sure which orange.  What would help me the most is if you can find one (or more!) colors that fit the general idea of what you want, and then post the link to those colors.  That way, I can get a set of powder samples and can check the colors against each other.

https://www.powderbuythepound.com/powder-coating-powders/ (https://www.powderbuythepound.com/powder-coating-powders/)

If everyone could find those colors within the next week or so, by June 10th, it would be much appreciated.  I'm going to try and get my prototype done very soon, so we can move to the GB stage.

I'd be in for some kind of green. But I guess I will be the only one in on that color. If not, here are my favorite greens:
Kawasaki green (https://www.powderbuythepound.com/Kawasaki-Green/) Shiny
Monster green (http://www.powderbuythepound.com/Monster-Green/) More matte
Sparkle Granny Smith Dormant (http://www.powderbuythepound.com/Sparkle-Granny-Smith-Dormant/) I first clicked at it because of the strange name, but the example images look pretty good.

Purple would be my other suggestion, and probably more popular, so here are my favorite purples:
Dormant purple (http://www.powderbuythepound.com/Dormant-Purple/) I kinda fell in love with this one
Purple starlight (http://www.powderbuythepound.com/Purple-Starlight/) Also not too bad, a little darker

I'll probably add these to the google form, but since I already wrote the post I might as well send it.

White would be a really good color for powder coating since it's the only kind of colour that anodizing cannot provide.
It also fits with the hhkb aesthetic.

I like it!  I added a low gloss (20%) white to the list, along with the other colors.  There is also an option for no powder, either bead blast or raw from the mill.  Anything above raw from the mill will be an addition, but my goal is to keep the powder coating under $10 per part.  That will depend on the amount and colors ordered though.

White would be really good, but not a pure white. The Pok3r white case is too white, there needs to be a certain amount of yellow/greyness to it.

You probably want a black one in there too, maybe silver. Other than that I think purple and orange are winners. The Tex cases seem to be popular colours.

I've got the textured black, are you thinking a flatter black? 
If the top orange and blue get selected, another base coat is required.  It looks like that will need to be purchased either way at this point, but is it worth adding as a "silver" option?  If people wanted silver, my though was either "raw off the mill" or bead blasted. 

The form has had some additions, you may want to check back and edit your response.

There was a lot of interest for an orange earlier, is the orange in the form not quite the right color?  It's supposed to look anodized, but the picture doesn't show that well.

Thanks for all the responses, hopefully more prototyping next week.

One thing to note is that the conductivity of the case is a major concern.
You especially cannot just use a case "raw" since that will mess up the circuits. It also would concern me if the powder coating chipped or wore off somehow again bringing up this problem.
I would ask of you to have the cases clear anodized. Even for the coated boards.

Frosty, raw would be for doing your own anodizing! I do agree with you though, I think anodizing is the better way to do this...

The main area of concern here is the bottom of the case and how the PCB would rest on it.  In the standard case, there will be an acrylic plate, which is non conductive.  The slanted case and weighted bottom would have that issue, but powder coating is one of the most durable coatings in the industry.  The issues with powder coating usually come into play in ten plus year periods, and under high wear.  In this situation, the critical surface will be enclosed, and the only thing that could scratch it (the PCB itself) is going to be secured with screws.  Since most people are not exposing their keyboards to extreme physical abuse or taking them apart and hitting them with a hammer, I don't think that powder coating will have a statistically significant difference in life.

I've never seen powder really chip, and the stuff were looking at getting is rated for 1,000 hours under a continuous salt spray.  I don't believe durability will be an issue on this kind of interior part.  If we were making a building, there would be more issues.

If it's really popular, I can send the cases to get anodized as another option.  There are places pretty close to me that I can send the parts to, but I'm hesitant to because I can't control the price in the same way.  I can do the powder coating myself, but I don't have access to anodizing equipment.  Basically, it'll just be pricier.  But I've added anodizing as an option in "No powder coating."

Also, if anyone is worried about conductivity, a piece of paper cut to size works wonders.

I too do some google research regarding anodizing vs powder coating on aluminum and didn't find much difference beside the look of it. I suggest powder coating to give a clear difference between other aluminum case. And for the white, if we compare to GMK keycaps CP white (slightly off white) will match more keyset rather than UN0001 white (ghost white).

Seems like I will snatch this as this is a nice alternative for KMAC Happy, maybe will pair it with Sentraq PCB and plate plus GMK Stromtrooper.

You were expecting an update, but it was me!  Endmill failure (again).

I went out to do the machining last night, and low and behold, the endmill got pulled out of the collet.  I'm going to be contacting some people to try and resolve this, but it's going to take time.  The machine was making these horrible sounds like it was about to die, and the endmill ended up about a quarter of an inch deeper than it was supposed to.

On the bright side, I got the fixture plate all drilled out, and the super small hole that gave me trouble last time got drilled without a hitch!  I also have another CAM system coming that should let me update the CNC program at the shop, so I could keep working if something like last night happens again. 

(http://i.imgur.com/Ckh5gtk.jpg?1)
So here you can see the endmill diving in.  It was about a hair width away from punching through the stock, which would have meant it was taking .75" x .3" cut, which was way too much for this machine.  The bottom of that pocket is supposed to be flat.  It's a work in progress...

Just a reminder that today is the last day to fill out the form for colors!  I'm going to be making the order later today (probably), so get your answers in while you can!

I'm only going to be getting colors with mostly positive feedback.  Lots of maybes and no's will probably exclude the color.  No yes's will significantly decrease the chance of the color being an option.

Ok, it's a bit after June 10th, but the survey results are in.

What I'm going to do on Monday is order a sample kit in the colors that you all selected, and then i'm going to do a small test for each color on a piece of aluminum so you can all see what it looks like.  I'll have another round of voting, and the top choices will be selected as options for the GB.  I'm working on figuring out a decent ordering system for choosing colors for each item.  The minimums for powdercoating will probably only be a few pieces, but I will reach out to an anodizer on Monday to get a quote.  Unless we get a lot of people, it's probably going to be a bit expensive.

I'll be getting samples of Flat Blue, flat orange (in case anodizing doesn't meet MOQs), Sparkle Granny Smith Dormant, Dormant Purple, Purple Starlight, White Satin, RAL 7031, and Blue Gray.  I already have the black and red, so it's going to be an option no matter what.  That doesn't mean anyone is obligated to choose them.

If this really upsets anyone, there are the raw or bead blasted options.  If your heart really desires it, you can get it finished at another place.  These options will be cheaper, since they do not have a special finish applied.

Quick update: got a quote for the anodizing.  If there is the same interest as in the survey (2 people), it will be about $50 per piece, and only if it's one color for both of them.  The powdercoating will have a pretty similar appearance, and will be a lot cheaper per item.  I'll be ordering the samples later today.

Ok, I'm really hyped for this update!

I just got back from about 4 hours of machining, and I got the first prototype finished.  There are a couple of errors, but that was because the endmill decided to dive into the metal at 100ipm, when it should only handle 20.  I got that figured out though. 

(http://i.imgur.com/SeOTYqQ.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/5toFgzE.jpg)

So I got the first part out, and it looks really good, IMO.  At this point, I think it's ready for production.  I want to do this this summer, before school starts up.  I have a few trips, and in order to get enough time to produce these well and get the powder coated/finished, it's going to be better to start sooner than later.  I'm going to talk to MD tomorrow about launching on their site, but otherwise I'll probably just do it over here on Geekhack.  It takes quite a while to make these things, around 1.5 hours in total.  With a batch, it's going to be a lot easier to make these, and the set up time will be reduced, but not by too much.

There was one issue with the radius mill not working quite right, I'm going to troubleshoot the dimensions on that.  It probably didn't get imported to CAM right, but it should be a pretty easy fix.

So what I'm asking you, dear Interest Checkers, is to be ready.  Due to my limited ability to make these, I'm going to limit it to about 20 pieces.  This might change, but that is my preliminary estimate.  I don't want to promise more than I can deliver.  At this point, the slanted case isn't ready, sorry.  But the acrylic base plate and aluminum base plate are set to go.  As I start getting orders, I'm going to start getting the stock and get it ready.  I'll post updates, somewhere, either on GH or MD or Twitter or something. 

The powder coating samples are still in the mail, so apologies for that.  Colors are still up in the air, but we're basically going with one of each color from the poll.  I'm going to put a MOQ on the colors, since it's a lot of work to switch colors.  Pricing to come soon.

Thank you all for keeping up with my crazy 6+ month IC.  Since I haven't done this, I'm going to update the OP so that my thread doesn't look dead. 

If anyone cares, I have an Imgur album (http://imgur.com/a/Ma67B) of pics from tonight.  Those clamps are hand welded, I'm surprised and proud they stood up so well.

Color chips came in, but the company didn't mention that 3 of the colors were out of stock. :(

(http://i.imgur.com/3jn2oaM.jpg?1)

Jukebox and generic brown packing paper for color reference. 

From left to right: RAL 7031, Dormant Purple, Anodized blue transparent, and Sparkle Granny Smith Dormant.
A couple notes: the blue feels oddly soft, like satin or something.  It's a slightly different texture than anodized, as it gives the piece more texture.  The RAL is more grey than blue.  Other than the anodized, the colors are all pretty shiny and smooth, but the light reflects almost like a hammertone.

(http://i.imgur.com/nhpAEUd.jpg)
Comparing reflectiveness.  Basically only the blue is less shiny.

At this point, the two colors with two options, purple and green, have a solid color, and a sparkly color.  I also looked at another white, that's a bit glossier, but more muted. (https://www.powderbuythepound.com/RAL-9016-Traffic-White/)  Both options will probably stay on for the GB, but there will be an MOQ of two or three pieces each.

This might be kind of hard to reach with a maximum of 20 orders, I'm also not a fan of Massdrop for such small runs since it only unecessarily drives up the price for the end user (does it really have so many advantages for the seller in these small quantities?), as seen with the TK78 drop that was ~$50 (don't quote me on that, might have been $40) more on Massdrop than it was in the GB that happened after the massdrop thing failed.

I know it's been like a year and a half since this thread started, and there have been options that have arouse in the time since my original posting for HHKB and WKL layouts.  I am wondering at this point if it's worth continuing to pursue this case (did my first real GB with some help this summer, and feel like I know more of what I would need to do so it happens within this millena).  I'll probably update the first post with a poll, though I doubt people will see it.
