Nullbits Nibble65 Keyboard Case

thingiverse

I built the excellent Nibble65 mechanical keyboard kit from Nullbits, but it doesn't have a case as it's a real bare bones kit, so I thought I would design and print my own. The case is in two halves that slot together nicely, then removing the base of the original keyboard and using it as a template, I drilled small holes in my new case's base to be able to screw the keyboard into the case, using the original standoffs. Added some foam for sound deadening and then used some slightly longer screws to screw the case in... Longer screws available on Amazon and elsewhere... The left and right side legs went through a couple of iterations to get the angle of the keyboard correct, and it's now at about 7 degrees. These are just super glued to the base, as is the 'Bongo Cat' OLED holder and the USB slot, Nibble65 text and front embellishment. The OLED holder is a remix of a holder that can be found on Thingiverse so thankyou for that, I claim no credit other than modifying it for my case... The text can be forced into the recesses in the case and super glued. The keyboard slides about a bit but I fixed this by fixing self adhesive 1mm silicon sheet to the feet bottoms and front. Then it's rock solid and doesn't move when you use it.
