the black prints are a bit mat and a bit grainy. as stated on ks-page, search for solartoh or toholed, same printer, same base file.


in other news: i can *maybe* shave off 0.9mm of bottom slider piece (the detachable thing that holds the keypad), but have to do some tests and magnets will be visible.

@dirkvl

did you consider the comment from slarti? Sounds pretty interesting from reading their website.

I'm in no way affiliated with them, just curious.

yes. looking into all sorts of things, but do not want to "make everybody happy with a dead sparrow" as i have no experience with injection molding.

when/if i have something meaningful to say about this subject, i will, but it is much easier said then done.

Sure, evaluate it properly, just wanted to be sure you are aware of it.

heres an idea thats clearly good and terrible at the same time.

when the keyboard is connected aka to the magnetic strip a beautiful hildon like ui greets you for a full desktop mode in landscape only and when removed boom your back to one handed sailfish...for watching porn...

810 sold so far, 190 to reach the 1000 mark - or 8-9 TOHKBD's a day.

Very achievable. If we see the total rise by ~€2000 a day, we'll know we're on course.

I think that the black solartoh looks a bit tatty in the picture. On the other hand, I know that the alumide looks much better in reality.

But it's already showing the contacts, so it's not that clean to begin with. I also assume that the magnetic bond will be a bit stronger with less material between them? How would the magnets be fastned? Glue?

no no no no no

it is about the BOTTOM piece, not the piece that connects to the phone but the detachable sliding piece that holds the keypad.

also, have to do a lot of tests to make sure this will work, so NOT DEFINITIVE!

I'm all for slimmer design, but could the holes in the wood not be problematic? Could it get fringed?

huh? no there are no holes in the wood, it is shaped like

and surrounded by the casing, so all edges are protected (like in drawing)
