mkbd65 case

The case for mkbd65 is still a work in progress!

Generate CAD files

1. Install dependencies

   pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
   

2. Generate files for your phone for example the Oneplus 8T

   ./mkbd65.py --layout=ansi --3mf oneplus_8t.ini
   

Build instructions

3D printing

Most of the case can be 3D printed using a home 3D printer, any online 3D printing service or at your local hack/make space. You can find your local hack/make space here.

Print out these files with a sturdy filament like PLA:

• lower_case

Print out the key_mat with a flexible filament like FilaFlexible40.

Config files

Properties for different phones are saved in INI files. Currently the only file included is oneplus_8t.ini for the Oneplus 8T phone. You can add your one phone by providing the INI file with measurements and a file describing it's camera bump.

In the config file you can define the phones size but also other aspects like the used font for the key mat. Here is a list of the possile options:

Group	Option	Type	Default	Description
keymap	thickness	Number	0.5	Thickness of the keymap in mm
key_mat	thickness	Number	1	Thickness of the key in mm
	font	String	DejaVu Sans:style=Bold	Font used for labels

OpenSCAD files

The generator script will create multiple files.

File	Material	Description
mkbd65_key_mat.scad	TPU	3D printable
mkbd65_pcb.scad	-	Just a spacer for the 3D model fitting
mkbd65_top_plate.scad	Acrylic	Laser cut on a CNC
mkbd65_lower_case.scad	PLA	3D printable
mkbd65_internals.scad	PLA	3D printable
mkbd65.scad	-	Combination of the above files
