A 5x6 Dactyl Manuform variation by Mike Pisman aka mpisman – with 5 thumb keys and smooth edges.
This is my first Dactyl Manuform keyboard. I made a variation of Dactyl 5x6 with 5 keys for thumb cluster. I wanted to smooth out edges of the keyboard and that's what came out – mpisman.
STL files and more photos available on GitHub: https://github.com/mike-pisman/Dactyl_Manuform_5x6
- Print parameters: 0.12 mm layer height and Polly Terra PLA filament.
- Logical layout: Halmak with minor modifications.
- Keycaps: PBT ZDA Match.
Workflow of smoothing out the edges:
I used some generator to get an step file, I think it was this one, then edited it using Shapr3D – mpisman.
