Overview

Travel case for an amazing keyboard Forager designed by carrefinho.

Primarily designed by my friend Jacob for me <3 with my humble input and original sketches.

Github repo

Features

  • 4 parts designed to be 3D printed without support
  • Magnetic latch, uses 24 10mm×3mm round magnets (press fit but can be glued)
  • Integrated storage for the original tenting legs
  • Case covers serve dual purpose as wrist rests
  • Compact, but should have enough space for taller keycaps like Lame
  • Simple: no glue or screws required

Bill of Materials

I'm going to use Amazon links, but these should be widely accessible. And some can be reused from the Forager build.

  • 24× neodymium magnets: 10mm diameter × 3mm thick. Amazon
  • 4× 10mm diameter 3mm thick hemisphere rubber pads from the Forager build guide, something like that
  • Grip sticker
  • 2× 8mm×3mm rods from the Forager build guide, Amazon

Build Guide

  • Note that some models might need to be flipped upside down in orientation for printing. The model files are taken from the assembly view, hence the assembly orientation. 
  • All 4 files should be printable without supports. Magnet holes have special geometry that don't require bridging nor support.
  • I printed with 0.1 mm layer height for higher fidelity, but all the prototype prints I have done are 0.2 mm.
  • The spacing is designed for "press-fit", but you might want to add some glue.
  • The build is pretty straightforward but you can find more details here.
  • Onshape project is here 

Thanks

  •  To my friend Jacob for partnering on designing the case. You are the best (though, as always).
  •  To carrefinho, your work saved my wrist.
