Update: Added Wooting 60HE compatible plates 

 

This keyboard is purposefully designed to be 3d printed with a 2-3-2 design so that it is printable on standard size 3d printers and creates a solid assembly with only screws and no glue.

Improvements from r1:

  • lower front height (about the same as a tofu)
  • lower typing angle
  • more layout options with 7u or 6.25u bottom row
  • 6 different plate options
  • more mounting point options (you can make it more or less stiff)
  • enlarged enter stab cutout to work with the DZ60
  • more clearance between parts so they fit together better
  • more screw points to make it more solid and allow for full isolation gasket mount
  • deeper gasket grooves to allow for thicker gaskets
  • one piece plates provided incase you would like to get a plate made with a different material such as aluminum. 

 

Plate options:

  • Normal: All mounting points, the most stiff typing experience
  • Flex: Omits the mounting points on the spacebar to give a more bouncy typing experience and less harsh bottom out
  • OG: Mounting points from the r1, the most flexy typing experience. Would not recommend with a hotswap pcb. 

Plate Layout options:

  • 7u: works with either the WK top or the WKL top (required for WKL)
  • Ansi: works only with WK top (not compatible with WKL)

 

                     7u plate layout compatibility:

                     Ansi plate layout compatibility:

 

 

Configuration Shown:

  • Overture Clear Blue Petg
  • 7u Normal Plate
  • WKL Top
  • Instant60 Tsangan Pcb
  • Gateron Cj's
  • GMK White on Black
  • TX stabs

(Sound Test)

 

For this Keyboard you will need:

  • A standard 60% pcb:

    Compatible pcbs include: DZ60, AN-Cv2, Instant60(Ansi/Tsangan), KeebsRGB 60% PCB,         H60 USB, DZ60RGB-ANSI, DZ60RGB-WKL, any other 60% pcb with left side usb.

 

To assemble:

  • Cut gasket foam to size of gasket grooves (if you use a plate that omits mounting points you can skip those grooves)
  • install gasket foam into grooves (if using neoprene foam linked to use two layers on the bottom case and one layer on the top case)
  • connect bottom case parts together with ramp pieces with 4x m3*6 screws for the thinner parts and 4x m3*8 screws for the thicker parts
  • install stabs into pcb (would recommend lubing)
  • install switches into plate and pcb (7u plate will work for both wk top and wkl top. Ansi plate only works for wk)
  • I would recommend putting on keycaps before installing keyboard assembly due to flex
  • place keyboard assembly into the bottom case
  • place either wk or wkl top case onto the bottom case and plate
  • screw in top case to bottom case with 16x m3*8 screws (sorry a lot I know)
  • Begin typing ;)
