I did it ... 😊 I could not leave it be...
I ordered custom printed #keycaps from WASD for my customized #chrumm#keyboard showing the full #NeoQWERTZ layout. 😅 Plus the keyboards first FN-layer.
They arrived .. today 😀 and they are beautiful. Came out much nicer and less chaotic than I feared. Even though #chaos, chaosknot and fairydust-rocket are part of the design 😁
On top of that, I added o-rings for a softer key-press bottom-out.
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.
On the FFF side, 3 prints with 3 filaments failed, before I could pin down the reason for it (all our filaments needed drying)
On the resin side, 1 print had the wrong parameters and 2 prints with high clarity resin bent away from the support structure and thus assembling became inviable. Also I further destroyed one of those while trying to fit a threaded inset into it. 😅
Built myself a #chrumm#Keyboard last week in standard configuration. (chrumm is actually a very cool parametric STL and PCB keyboard generator)
The goal was to see how I would do with isometric aligned keys.
So far, my experience has been great. No problem with the rectilinear layout per se.
The main annoyances so far focused on the missing F-key-row, the two missing keys on the left half that I need regularly and having to type '6' with the right hand instead of the left.
