Hello everyone, after a considerable IC phase on Reddit, I’m
posting a final IC here for people to get on board before
the GB begins
For those of you who are finding this for
the first time, this is a 60% tray mounted case that I
designed as a tribute to the AEK that I harvested all my
alps parts from. This was originally just a personal project
I embarked on while I had access to a 3D printer but
significant demand for samples from friends, redditors and
discord members had prompted me to expand this into a proper
group buy.
I am pleased to be working with the wonderful
/u/keyboardbelleprints, who does amazing work on
her own cases (keyboardbelle.com) and has shown real promise
in helping me deliver an awesome case for the community.
Seriously, these are amazing the production samples I have
received are awesome they look great, sound great, and the
translucent ones handle underglow LEDs like nothing Ive seen
before.
So, lets get down to specs:
Weight: 330g
Material:
ABS plastic (depends on the color option, but both are of
similar density)
Mount: 6 screw pok3r style mount
compatible with USB-C because thats a thing now.
Why 3D printed?
A few reasons:
- Fast production Im expecting the cases to be ready to be distributed no more than a month after GB close.
- Affordable I asked a machinist friend of mine what a run of 30 of these in aluminum would cost, and it was upwards of $350 each. These are approximately 1/7th the price.
-
THE SOUND These cases really bring out the pop and the
thock of the alps switches. /u/cankr did a sound
test with the sample I sent him, and its really
something.
Sound test:
Compatibility:
I designed this for use with alps64 boards with AEK caps (using the hasu plate). With that being said, there is sufficient room for most 60% boards to fit, and I have tested GMK and SA caps, and can confirm that there is no rubbing or incompatibilities with the case.
The group buy will run for 2 weeks, then production will start immediately.
The cost is less than $50/case. Final price will be announced in the GB, but it will be between $40-50
Colors:
AEK Beige
Translucent
Glow-in-the-dark
In addition to the main three, I will get info from keyboardbelle if she has any other colours kicking around, so if someone wants a navy blue or lime green or something wild, we can try and make that hapoen. If she, please reply with a non-offered color and I can see if she stocks it before you order.
Finally, there will be an option for a cutout for the apple logo. Just a dab of hot glue and you’re set. (apologies for the tiny image, I’m away from my protos right now)
