1 year agoAh that’s true. I got the SLA printer’s build volume and indeed it can’t fit a whole half of the split kb in any way.

I think this SLA printer can print ABS. Or at least I’m told the default resin is ABS-like. Probably not as durable I’m guessing.
Nice idea! Do you mean on top of the switch plate? I’m still brainstorming the design, but it will have a removable layer on top of the plate to hide the switches’ legs (I don’t like that “naked” feel) & keep some dust from falling inside the kb.
Hmm what’s the rationale to print the plate with FDM? Are SLA plates brittle or inflexible? (if printed with ABS)? I don’t have much experience with SLA. And good point, I’ll check Thingiverse for the thickness.
Wow, that looks gorgeous!!
