  • Haha, ya I bet it’s lighter. Looks fantastic. One thing I messed around with in the slicer (cura for me) is the z-seam (where the layer starts printing). I moved it to the back to hide it. Ideally it would be on the inside of the case, but I didn’t spend enough time on it to figure it out. I think the z-seam is going down the front to the left of the thumb keys, yes? If it doesn’t bother you, keep going!


  • Looks pretty good! I remember the pain of removing normal supports… Your picture of the removed supports with the pliers reminded me, hehe. With tree supports, it comes out in about 30 seconds as one giant blob. Usually I have a blob laying around but I recently cleaned up. Have you printed a temp tower with your new printer? Might help to really dial in the temp for some of the overhang areas.




  • Nothing out if the normal. I’m a big fan of tree supports, but aside from that it’s just a standard layer height for a 0.4mm nozzle. Temp will depend on the type of filament you decide to use. I have to admit, I’ve had my printer for around 2 years and I’ve gotten by with learning very little about it and doing almost no maintenance… I’m somewhat paying the price now because the thing is giving me nothing but trouble 😭

    Excited to see how it looks!








  • They keys within the columns are spaced as tightly together as I could get them without interference. The column to column has more space though - I just found it more comfy as I ran through some iterations. But now I’m getting curious about smashing the columns together again…I think the keyboard could be considerably smaller. I’ll release this version and continue to mess around…I’m just working through some annoying under-extrusion issues on my printer, so I’m hoping that I can have it released in a couple weeks.
