JD40 Mechanical Keyboard Case

thingiverse

Work in progress 40% case; designed to bolt together with m3 screws. Mount holes were designed to fit a plate generated at builder.swillkb.com. I eyeballed it in Openscad and included the .scad file so that mount holes can be moved to wherever. No bottom on it because all ones I build will be/are bolted to acrylic plates, but planning to update this to have acrylic slide in future. Split into two halves, you can print two halves on one 200x200 bed; trapezoids in middle are designed to bolt whole thing together if printed in two halves. This is for hand-wired boards, may do one for PCBs at some point but definitely not till get hands on one. Sorry for no pictures, ran out of filament about 80% of way through printing it! USB slot and its mounting holes were designed for https://www.adafruit.com/products/1833. Print Settings: Printer: Monoprice Maker Select/Wanhao Duplicator i3 V2.1 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Infill: 25 Notes: Printed it at 25% infill and was a little weaker than I would have liked, although think it would have been perfectly adequate (ran out of filament before completed). Have feeling it will be sturdier when bolted to top and bottom plates but still recommend upping the infill a bit. Had no problems removing Cura's supports but make sure don't have "dense support roof" enabled.
