I’ve realized apart from my split keyboard, I need a small keyboard with a normal qwerty layout (for games mostly). So I decided to go with designing my own since most open source boards I saw require a pcb, and I want to handwire it.

Booted up KLE, made a first layout. Not the cleanest in the world, but I think I can exploit the gaps in the bottom right, for a potentiometer(Should look into one of those haptic knobs, they seem interesting) or an oled screen.

The CAD Model looks like the following:

This workflow of mine needs tuning, instead of linear repeating patterns, I think I can create a layout that places keypoints in a master sketch, and tune them accordingly. Why this is necessary becomes clear during slicing:

My model is out of bounds for the X1C build volume. Adjusting the workflow to be parametric would help avoid what I have to do now: which is do the whole thing again
