<p>Bolt-together DIYB0XX designed for low-profile switches. No adhesive or plastic welding needed. Modified 20XX B0XX layout provided by Crane's github: <a href="https://github.com/Crane1195/DIYB0XX">https://github.com/Crane1195/DIYB0XX</a></p><p>This is not a guide for a specific end product. Check Crane's github if you want to know more about b0xx projects.</p><p>Possibly working on USB-C variant, thinner variant, and a variant using D2FC type omron mircro-switches. No keycaps are included in these files yet. Check tolerances or model your own before printing this. If you'd like changes or have any suggestions, let me know. STEP files are also included for people to modify.<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Hardware:</p><h5>16x M3x20mm Hex bolts&nbsp;</h5><p>6 for middle, 2 for USB mount, 8 for bottom piece(s). &nbsp;Bottom 8 bolts can be swapped for countersunk head bolts if using a non-printed bottom. Might need different lengths if doing so.</p><h5>8x M3x4.6x5.7 threaded inserts&nbsp;</h5><p>To be pushed in with a soldering iron into the holes facing downwards. Could be omitted and threaded into the print if the holes were smaller.&nbsp;</p><h5>22x Low-profile switches</h5><p>I designed this using <strong>Gateron KS-27</strong> switches. Kailh Choc switches should also work. I can create a variant for MX height switches if desired.</p><h5>Aliexpress panel mount micro-usb connector</h5><p>The one that looks like the image below. Mine didn't come with fasteners, so I modeled with the same M3x20mm bolts. No idea if those screws will work with the design, but it might need modifications if you intend to use them.</p><p>I'm likely to be making a type-C version whenever I get a type-c panel mount connector.&nbsp;</p><p><img class="image_resized" style="width:41.95%;" src="https://media.printables.com/media/prints/219753/rich_content/cf481244-4e31-46c0-980b-645472b41da8/usb.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%220b686b7f-e771-45db-a7e1-4f9c6aa5b01f%22%2C%22w%22%3A800%2C%22h%22%3A800%7D"></p><p>Everything else you need to make a b0xx as well.
