40% printable mechanical keyboard for Framework Mainboard

For this project I have been inspired by the Raspberry Pi 400. At the moment I haven't been able to print it as I don't own a mainboard framework, but I hope to be able to bring it to reality in the near future.
It is a project that I find very interesting because I love the concept of having the keyboard integrated with the mainboard, and simply connecting it to a source (screen, projector, tv…) to be able to use it directly. For the moment I have created this model with a 40 keyboard, but I don't rule out doing it with other types of keyboards in the future. I found the design process very entertaining and I'm looking forward to continue exploring this kind of concepts.

The top of the case is formed by a mechanical keyboard that you can customise by purchasing your favourite keys.
We have also modified the lower part of the case to fit some anti slip rubber pads. Update: we have also designed this gridfinity compatible base. It is interchangeable with the lower part of the case so you can choose your preferred one!

In the files section you can find the stl files to print them directly and the step project so you can customize or remix it as you like.

Firmware [source]

• Compiled firmware (source)
• VIA json (File > Import Keymap)

Update!

This keyboard is now compatible with gridfinity by printing this base. This means you can have a gridfinity compatible keyboard!

I combined the two concepts into one, so you can have a framework mainboard with a fully printable keyboard in the same case. This allows you to just connect this awesome case to a mouse and a screen to start working.
