  8. 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
