This is a replica of Apple's iconic M0110 keyboard case. According to designer SimonAchton, it works with a cheap 60% keyboard PCB from aliexpress, but should work with many other 60% PCBs as well.
I couldn’t afford the actual Apple M0110 so I designed and 3D printed this beauty. Jwick T1s on acrylic plate and made of finished PLA – SimonAchton.
Designed to use a cheap USB-C breakout board from aliexpress. The required bolts, heated inserts and other parts are listed in the thingiverse description with links (however, most links doesn't work for me as of writing this).
Plate is 1.5mm and I've provided both a DXF if you want to laser cut as well as STL if you want to print (I recommend laser cutting).
