The Framework, an open-source through-hole 5x12 ortholinear keyboard, was already featured in KBD #10, but recently, 7c8 posted one with an acrylic cover.

I added an acrylic component cover because everyone peer-pressured me – 7c8.

Even though the Atmega328 makes programming this build more cumbersome, the Framework's nice Git repo covers the topic of flashing the bootloader with USBaspLoader:
