I finally finished my fourth #chrumm #mechanicalkeyboard 😃
(There was no real hurry, as I already have some 😁)This time, with a detachable USB cable and a bit cleaner cabling. Housing is a FFF #3dprint in transparent PCTG instead of resin.
Hopefully it will be sturdier that way, when I take it on the go.

Thanks to all the great tips I got for PETG:
- print slower
- eliminate drafts / ensure stable temp / use enclosure
- adjust z-hop to normal
- deselect reduce infill retraction.
- high adhesion "cool plate"
- print a single piece at a time
- higher bed temp
- 2-5°C higher nozzle temp when hardened
- elephant ears instead of raft
- non-big nozzle sizeCurrently re-trying with shore 58D TPU (Extrude Flex Hard) which should not warp. Fingers crossed🤞

So frustrating. 😠 Had 4 #3dprint for a new #chrumm #keyboard FAIL after hours of printing at similar 95% point.
On 2 printers ( #prusa MK4 and #BambuLab A1mini) with 2 PETG brands.
Parts pop off, loose adhesion. Spaghetti follows. 😩
Any tips?
Enclosure?Things that did not help:
- thorough plate cleaning
- brim
- raft
- slower printing
- much slower printing
- different infill
- no infill
- hairspray or sugar coat
- higher heatbed temperature
- extra extra supports
- foam-insulation -
Typing on my custom #chrumm #mechanicalkeyboard is still, not just a great pleasure, but a growing one 😀
The more I use it, the better it gets.

I did it ... 😊 I could not leave it be...
I ordered custom printed #keycaps from WASD for my customized #chrumm #keyboard showing the full #NeoQWERTZ layout. 😅 Plus the keyboards first FN-layer.They arrived .. today 😀 and they are beautiful. Came out much nicer and less chaotic than I feared. Even though #chaos, chaosknot and fairydust-rocket are part of the design 😁
On top of that, I added o-rings for a softer key-press bottom-out.

And thus my #chrumm DIY #Keyboard journey ends successfully 😀😀
Using the previous experience, I drilled holes into my office keyboard and converted the mockup-taped-on USB #trackpoint to an integrated one,, handled by the keyboard controller and QMK firmware, here too.
Again high clarity resin and a UV lamp was used for mounting..
I also found a solution for the keys I was dearly missing 😅: A big macropad (STM32F103 version of the #Amag23 which runs #QMK, though I can't find it online.)
-
Finally done! Built myself a 2nd #chrumm diy #keyboard for the home office.
Added a #trackpoint module in the middle, which was both straightforward and a lot of work, but totally worth it 😀
1. tested if the model works connected directly to the #RaspberryPico using #QMK firmware
2. modified body STL in #FreeCAD to create space for the module and cables
3. Print once. Goto 2.
4. Print again
5. Assembly
6. Drillling
7. Hand-cured painted-on resin for a nice waterproof finish for the trackpoint -
Ohh ... having the #trackpoint in the middle of the #chrumm #keyboard with Fn+(v|c|x) as mouse keys is sooooo cool.
Still missing dedicated PageUp/PageDown Buttons though...
-
Wanted to experiment with adding a #trackpoint onto my #chrumm #keyboard and got myself an evaluation board that I taped on top.
So far, not so bad, but I have yet to convince #libinput to invert the axis for just this mouse. My udev rules which add the calibration matrix env variable do not seem to have any effect at all. So this blocks any further experimentation at the moment.

Now that I finally have the CapsLock key back (modified #chrumm #Keyboard with 65keys), I've been trying to type using a #neoqwertz layout. (basically german layout with a layer for programming characters)
Never thought I'd have so much fun and success trying alternative kbd layouts after avoiding them for decades! 😅
I've tried it for a day during normal work now, with a printed cheat-sheet next to me. Already monkeytype clocks me at >=30wpm in the rust code typing exercise ({}\[]|<>+-_&)

Finally finished my second #chrumm #diy #keyboard 😃 🎉
This version features -12° backwards tilt instead of -3° and is thus a bit higher.
It also features 20° split angle instead of 12°, which feels much better. On the MS Ergonomic keyboard, which seems to also have only 12°, I actually also used an wider arm angle so so that finger movement is more isometric over the diagonally arranged keys.
The body was printed with resin and the threading hole diameter needed to be increased for glueing.
-
The path to a better(?) parametrically generated #chrumm #diy #Keyboard is fraught with failed #3dprint s. 😅
On the FFF side, 3 prints with 3 filaments failed, before I could pin down the reason for it (all our filaments needed drying)
On the resin side, 1 print had the wrong parameters and 2 prints with high clarity resin bent away from the support structure and thus assembling became inviable. Also I further destroyed one of those while trying to fit a threaded inset into it. 😅

@xro that.... looks oddly familiar :) Thanks for mentioning #chrumm, did not pop up on my radar yet. Looks like I need to take a closer look. I do also run a variant of #QMK - #Vial which allows you to remap keys and reconfigure the firmware on the fly (tapdance and whatnot). Worth the effort!

Built myself a #chrumm #Keyboard last week in standard configuration. (chrumm is actually a very cool parametric STL and PCB keyboard generator)
The goal was to see how I would do with isometric aligned keys.
So far, my experience has been great. No problem with the rectilinear layout per se.
The main annoyances so far focused on the missing F-key-row, the two missing keys on the left half that I need regularly and having to type '6' with the right hand instead of the left.

Always so very satisfying: melting threaded inserts into 3D printed parts.
