Toying with the connections/cables showed that the fan position could better be on the right side. This to allow undisturbed airflow upwards….I just have to see how that combines with the mains connector and switch. Otherwise - instead of the bigger - to apply a smaller fan in the middle, free...

Hello all, New frame testbuilt on the way. Minor adjustments to the TV-out card - position. Further its spot on (asfar a I can see) Next the assembly and cablemanagement. Due to rising of the PCB baseplate, the remaining space above the connector has become minimal - as expected- It...

@Trash80toG4 - cutting cast plexiglass with a suitable cutter is no problem. Troublesome is the cheap acryl with a unsuitable cutter. But having cheapo acrylics lasercut (or I guess hydrocut) is no problem again. As for speed, I am not interrested as its no production. Think cutting time took...

Well, I did gave V2 a chance, cut the parts and overall it does fit well, but there are a few improvements to make …. - V2.1 comming up next!- 🍀

Files are mostly in DXF and STL format. Assembly can be viewed in STEP and 3D-PDF. The prototype material is plywood, metric 3mm. Other material, other thickness is possible, You then may need to adapt the slots In CAD. Njoy! date: 30082022 After cutting proto V2 there where quite a few little...

BTW, also I do not think that special keycaps, for what I need, can be downloaded….🙈

No, I mean a sla resin printer Something like this protolabs does. Or @ home…. Check here. on YouTube Example Printers. Very impressive on small parts.

-Ok, finally ready for testing- Here are the prototype files for my SE40 project. Files and use are free under Creative commons- use on your own risk- See also the readme file for additional info. Looking forward to see the work done by members on this. 🍀 (Edit- Files can be found in the...

Just out of curiousity, what if you buy the shown PCB, add these lowprofile switches , ….then create your own keycaps, using a 3D resin printer….. What would then be the needed inner space hight around this keyboard. (Keyprofile estimated/adapted from previous shown IIgs picture here)

Ok, go for it! Nothing more satisfying finishing a project. 🍀

3:4…..OK …..but whats is the viewing dimension (between the lines) for your Lisa?

@Trash80toG4, I like the idea creating a pcb & keycaps,…. but not in need for an extra project. I have another look at my simple keyboard conversion to check on whats the actual problem. 🍀

Thought you where searching for the Lisa 4K display matter…..🛠

Thats looking very promissing! Nice! 👍

Custom caps are expensive for sure! Ive read a while back that was an option. It did concern a groupaction, so it was a small batch. (Edit: there is now even a special service for that- https://www.wasdkeyboards.com/reprinted-key.html ) Ive been searching Ali for a while…. You can buy...

No, not a dead topic yet….made the snap hooks in working order. This way i have a dimension to work to, while gluing in the sheetmetal side. 🍀

Hey Fred, Compliments are always appreciated! CNC machines, suitable for home (shop) or desktop use is something ive been tinkering with -on and of - for the last 22Years. CNC@home has come a long way, but its never been so „affordable“ and accesable as it is now. So many examples on the web...

Great infos, interresting! If keycaps are such a thing, you also need decent switches……found low profile model keycaps too… Ive read that they can laser engrave personal layouts also…. 🍀

I was not that fond about this keyboard also….

Whats the margin of the Lisa bezel? What size display display would fit within that? Best make a sectional drawing of that first. You need to know exactly what level to flat out, and get it square, looking at it from the front. CNC routing is a great way to do this job. But any routing jig...
