Good for being the first one to bring this up. I will change the PCBs, make a hole in the casing and mail Korea to throw away the molds and start making other ones. Will look like this.

Sorry for the sarcastic response. This question is the most asked, most answered and explained one. Almost on every page.


In other news:

First 485 TOH-cover PCBs are solderes, tested and EEPROM programmed. Next 1000 PCBs just arrived, do not look forward to soldering them.. Then attaching 3000 connector plates with 12000 solder joints. By hand.


Next keyboard casing arrived, *almost* slips in like a glove. Need to remove some material where there is expected build-up in the printing process. The 'locking trees' at the bottom work better than expected. Not a hassle to assemble, toight like a toiger and still possible to disassemble.




Material to be removed in next iteration:

Interested in why I do this, check the production videos on Shapeways, very cool stuff.

Small feature added to keyboard PCB, test pads for testing the LEDs during manufacturing:



Also, designed some soldering mold for the connector pads. Being printed in stainless steel.
