A 3D printed keyboard by JaminMechKeys with metal rods, giant bolts and rice. RICE!

Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.

This project introduces a quite uncommon but very clever 3D printing method especially for those who want a board larger than their printer bed:

The case is made up of many segments that I have 3D printed. Think of it like a stack keyboard but instead of vertically stacking sheets of acrylic we will be stacking these segments horizontally – JaminMechKeys.

In addition, this design features slide mounting rails, just like the wooden case from last week.

Also, there is a cavity in the case acting as a compartment for rice. RICE! The rice is the dampening material and the weight for the case.

STLs pending.
