There are almost no choc compatible cases for 3d printing that I consider good, so I took it upon myself to design it! – DCharlo.

Design goals

  • Account for the author's "inaccurate carpal tunnel syndrome fingers".
  • Cover the controller and battery.
  • Leave a channel to press the reset switches without having to remove the case (N!Nv2 + ZMK)
  • Hide the batteries
  • Compression fit so the "screw holes don't need to get right" for the plate.
  • Making it thinner than the stock plate case.

According to DCharlo, the way the case is made has increased the rigidity of the keyboard, provided some enclosure to the sides as well as the base which has "dramatically improved the sound and feel".
