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.
