Matt3o has recently got himself a CNC router and is experimenting with making wood keycaps.
This piqued my attention a) because wood is baller, and b) because I wanted to see if he could make a fatty spacebar
Assuming the cost of making a CAD file for the spacebar is <$100 I will pay for the getting the file made.
So what I am asking you guys is if you could have a 1.25u x 6.25u spacebar, what profile would you want it to be made for?
I don’t have a quote for what the price of these would be, but Matt3o estimates a cost of $5-15 for a 1x1 key, so you can make guesstimations.
Another thing I must ask: How much breathing space do you want cut out at the front of the spacebar? With the extra .25 stretching out, there will be case compatibility issues at the front and having a piece of the bottom area at the front will help reduce that.
In order to maintain quality and structure while having maximum case compatibility I need to know how much higher your cases are above your backplate to figure out what can be done.
This is about what I want the shape of the spacebar to be
