High-Profile Nyquist v3 Hex Case

thingiverse

With inspiration from /u/opsecpanda I built another, better version: upgraded to Nyquist rev3 PCBs from keeb.io Kailh Speed Coppers /lubed new HIGH PROFILE 3D printed case (a first for the Nyquist, I believe) This case is based on an original design by /u/opsecpanda. We ran into each other in the sub and started talking about Nyquist and 3D printed cases. They inspired me to learn a little bit of 3D modeling to make some changes to the case that I had wanted like chamfered corners and a high-profile plate design. I wanted to make a board unlike any of seem before, and I love the design of the Nyquist, but I don't like exposed switches, and it seems with many handwired / split boards I come across, all those exposed switches take away from the look. The best, IMHO, case I'd seen available was on thingiverse, by opsecpanda...but again, exposed switch design. So I learned how to 3D model, enough to rework the design into something I not only like, but love! I added approx 5mm to the overall thickness of the case, but no height to the plate, ending up with a sunken plate, with a stepped bezel. I'm very happy with the results. So here's the finished product. I'm very happy with it. I'm going to take a break from 3D modeling for a couple of days, but I will upload my modified files to thingiverse as a remix. This thing looks boss AF. Thanks, opsecpanda! Print case as oriented. Flip the plate and print flat side down. Mirror each part for the opposite hand. Parts snap together. May need to adjust print size by +/- 1% (depending on how tuned your printer is) if the plate and case won't mate.
