Ergodox EZ Extended Tilt Kit Leg Parametric

Remix inspired by nnifinn's longer tenting leg. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4261530

Remixed to be parametric (customise the length and thickness) and be much more resistant to breaking off the keyboard. Also, his model's scale was broken. Finally, this has a more secure ankle to hold the rubber foot on in a bag etc.

The scad files are available on printables for you to customise the length and size.

Nnifinn's description below:

Supports are required for the sphere at the end of the leg. However, you shouldn't need support for the inside of the screw cavity, so use a support blocker.

This model replicates the Ergodox EZ tilt kit legs, but with approximately double the length, so you can tilt your keyboard even further.

Use the screws and rubber feet from your existing Ergodox EZ tilt kit on the replacement legs.

At least 0.12mm resolution is required to print the "teeth"/knurling where the leg attaches to the Ergodox EZ. These teeth create rotation steps and help keep the tilt legs from rotating. I recommend using adaptive layer height, because the rest of the print can be lower quality.

Post-Printing

If you want knurling without a fine print at the end, you can heat the end and press it into the knurning on the keyboard.

I recommend taking a knife to the ankle to carve out a nice deep line for the rubber foot to sit in.

Print spares if you leave the legs on while travelling or if your board drops on the ground often. Lots of leverage makes the joint susceptible to snapping. I aim for 50% gyroid infill, and combined with the thickness of the necks on these it seems sturdy.
