Title: Swillkb case?(want pictures first build)
Post by: Stayfrostys on Sun, 10 June 2018, 21:50:27
Hey im planning out my first full custom tkl build ive got a pcb and zeal switches on order. Im really excited but need some case help. Has anyone had a case made from the swillkb site? If so can you post some pictures? The plate is easy but i want to see some results of people who used that site for the case so i can get a better idea on their construction! Or if anyone would have some guideance on a case that won't cost $400 I appreciate the help!

The JD40 in the first post here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53617.0) uses a sandwhich case like the one swill's site will produce.

As to TKL cases there aren't many and there's no standard spacing between the sections so you'd need to say which PCB you have before anyone can help :)

Right i don't know if this has a name the pcb im getting will have a small space between the esc row and number row which is why im leaning custon build because it wont fit the filco case. heres the thread i bought it from got the a87 variation https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=95713.0

That jd40 is sortof what i was looking for that shows the switch plate and bottom. ideally i would like to see some results from someone who had sides/top cut as well just so i can get a better idea of the aesthetic.
