So here it is:
There are some misalignment since I haven't bolted it, I am still awaiting the arrival of my 1800 PCB.
The mounting plate is clear acrylic:
As you can see, I have tried to get the colors on the edges of the case all the way to the bottom:
Since the case is pretty tall, it required a good number of 2.7mm feet to get a decent tilting angel of ~8degrees.
This is a shot of layer 2 (1 being the top), layer 4 and 5 are similar. As you can see the shape of the extra bits (Black, grey, white parts) is slightly different, this is to allow screw holes and get them to lock into the main yellow case body. This ensures that only layer 1 and 2 have to be fused. I try to avoid fusing acrylic but to get a clean look, the top two layers had to to be fused:
As I had mentioned earlier, the plate is clear and used the same shape as my open-source 1800 case, this means that the case body can be changed anytime and the simple and standard shaped 1800 can be used, without having to desolder the switches:
The clear acrylic base plate with the feet bolted.
Here is the complete kit, minus the feet which are attached to the base already:
Now I need suggestion regarding the keycaps, I think the bumblebee set would look great, but I missed out on the GB
. Any other set?
Also, I am thinking yellow 2x3x4mm LEDs, and orange one on the mods? What do you think? Also planning to mount yellow SMD LEDs or the 2x3x4mm one on the bottom side, so it glows. Thoughts?
EDIT: There is a small circle that I will get cut in orange when I get the GH Anniv. keychains ordered, you can see the space in the yellow engine part of the bus int he first photo.
Sorry for the bad pics, I don't have a camera, just my phone.
