The Atoll is an open-source 40% PCB with a resin printed case.

The result of a foolish PCB-first case-second approach to a hotswap 40% mechanical keyboard. 12.75u width with a split spacebar, HHKB bottom row, and an optional encoder in the top left – wthrll.

The picture above is a render, check the original r/mk post for more pics.

This is the author's first go at printing a case for his Atoll PCB: A 5° typing angle screw-free design that slides together around the plate.
