Finally finished my second #chrumm #diy #keyboard 😃 🎉

This version features -12° backwards tilt instead of -3° and is thus a bit higher.

It also features 20° split angle instead of 12°, which feels much better. On the MS Ergonomic keyboard, which seems to also have only 12°, I actually also used an wider arm angle so so that finger movement is more isometric over the diagonally arranged keys.

The body was printed with resin and the threading hole diameter needed to be increased for glueing.
