Update 2023/8/19: Added a wrist rest to go with the keyboard

 

I really liked 3DPrintSOS's SiCK-68 keyboard so I designed my own with some improvements.

Features:

  • More compact
  • Cleaner exterior (less seams)
  • Prints in less prints on a standard Ender-3 bed
  • Uses inexpensive Pi Pico with KMK Firmware

BOM:

  • 10x M2 Nut 
  • 8x M2*12 Socket Head Screw
  • 2x M2*4 Socket Head Screw
  • 100x 1N4148 Diode
  • 68x Cherry MX style key switches
  • Cherry MX Style Stabilizes (3x 2U, 3x 6.25U)
  • Raspberry Pi Pico
  • Thin wires
  • ~300g of filament
  • Superglue

Printing:

  • All parts are oriented for best results.
  • The "Keys" folder has all of the keys split into sets with custom seam positions.
  • No supports are required except for the keyplates which need build plate supports.
  • 0.2mm layer height.

Post Printing:

  • The nut-cavities on the bottom of the case have 1 layer thick built in supports for the holes, poke through them before use.
  • Use Superglue to join the pieces (Or use a soldering iron at low temp to weld them)
