Printing the 3D Models

To print the models under optimal conditions, a 3D printer with a print surface area of 220x220mm is required. Skirts and brims are not necessary and should be omitted to minimize the required print surface.

The top case should be printed upside down. In this position, no supports are required at all. Choose a high infill percentage to ensure optimal rigidity.

For dimensions accuracy, slice these models with a layer height of 0.1mm.

Building the keyboard

Brass metal inserts

Brass metal inserts must be installed in the case using a soldering iron. Set the temperature of the soldering iron between 220°C and 250°C.

The case is designed for M2 screws that are 4mm long and M2 x OD3.0 x H3.0 metal inserts (which are included in the kit).

Once the inserts have been installed, place the PCB inside the case and close it with the lid.

Next, insert the switches, followed by the keycaps.

Finally, add the rubber feet and a USB-C cable.
