Hello all,
Thanks for the huge interest on the google
form! So far, there are almost 150 people interested, with a
total of almost 200 cases requested.
Please fill out this form:
https://goo.gl/forms/jYeDAWMYnCi1j3BG3
to help decide on the finish of the plate (brushed or
blasted), as well as registering to be notified when the
gb starts
Due to popular demand, a turquoise/cyan colour will
be available, as well as a grey blue. Most of the other
colours seen on the form should also be available.
Components
such as the PCBs and other parts will be available, as well
as an assembly service (this add roughly $20 to the
order).
As for switches, 80% of people do not want to
purchase switches from me, so I will likely get into
communication with those who do want switches to see if we
can figure out a cost effective solution.
While I don’t
have an exact estimate yet, it looks like the price will be
around $150, with an extra cost of roughly $25 for all other
components. These figures are currently very rough
estimates.
If you haven’t filled the form out yet, and
are interested in the case, check it out here:

I am in the process of gathering quotes at the
moment, and should be able to start the buy within the next
month or so. If anyone has an alps style switch (or a few)
in Australia that they could send me for testing, let me
know. I can pay for shipping.
So far, I have completed
a design, and have produced a 3d printed prototype. Here it
is:
And here are some unpainted pictures:
Note: the large rectangular hole at the back will be
smaller in the final design, and will be the shape of the
usb connection.

are not representative of the current design)

Hi everyone, I have been working on improving the design,
and have polished up the 5 degree variant of the case. Here
are a few renders:
As you can see, the two halves are in a “portal”
colour scheme. I thought it might be nice to offer this,
alongside the other standard colours (if I do this, you will
be able to order a set of two halves of the same colour, or
a “portal” edition). Let me know what you think of this!
Note:
while the case is shown with the plate secured with brass
machine screws in the corners, the current design which I am
3d printing will use 4 posts to mount the plate. The screws
will not be as visible this way. Also, the side and bottom
edges will be slimmer in the current design. Photos coming
soon.
As for the progress towards the finished product,
I would like to 3d print a test model, to ensure the PCB
fits within the case, along with the other components. I
will let you all know how this goes!
Thanks to everyone
for the feedback, support and patience!

Hi everyone,
I recently built a split planck, using the
Let’s Split PCBs. I used a typical plate case design,
separated with some brass posts.
However, this is
clearly not as cool as a full case, made of anodized
aluminium. Due to this lack of awesomeness, I decided to
design one myself. Here it is:
10 degree incline:
5 degree incline:
So far, this is all the progress I have made. If
there is any interest, then a group buy may be possible.
Either way, I will probably be making one of these for
myself.
The specs will be something like this:
- Case available in various anodized colours. They will probably be sandblasted.
- Plate available in anodized colours (also sandblasted), and/or brushed stainless steel. MX and ALPS plates will both be available.
- Assembly screws will be included.
Any suggestions or questions are much appreciated.
