Having thought about designing/building my own board since I started this hobby, I finally decided to go for it and followed this guide

I started in freecad but eventually switched to Fusion360 and found it much easier.
Having never touched a CAD program it was definitely a challenge, but very fun.
I call the board "emma" after My wife(Her name isn't Emma, but it's her favorite nickname I call her.) She doesn't quite understand my hobby but She indulges me and shows me a great deal of love and I wanted to dedicate something to her that came from my creativity and inspiration.
I knew I wanted an angled layout, and I loved layouts like the Alice, but, too many keys! When the primeE was IC'd I was hooked, but I couldn't swing the money, so I took that inspiration and created my own layout
Once I was decided on the layout, I went to work in fusion and ended up with this:
I had to split the board down The middle so that the printer could print it and at the advice of the guy who was printing it, I cut 2 holes in each side to stick some small metal rods in, in order to increase the rigidity of the case, with the plan to affix a piece of clear acrylic to the bottom.
After recieving the print I realized that the holes were a bit too close to the outside edges and there wasn't much material between the hole and the actual edge. In hindsight, I should have made the bezel just a hair thicker, but so far so good.
The case is one piece, integrated 4mm plate, about 18mm high in front, (19.5ish after the acrylic bottom) with a 6 degree slope.
Currently sanding and painting until I'm happy with it
Next steps - lube my zealios, then handwire with an EliteC and attach acrylic piece!
So far, this has been a very fun process. Pretty happy with it!
