Since the Keychron Q1 was a bit too high for me, I rebuilt the bottom case with a lower profile.

To make it printable on a normal sized printer, I split the case in two parts. In the v1 I added dovetails and a slight clearance to the two parts so they can be easily plugged together. Unfortunately, this creates a gap between the parts. 
When assembling, I noticed that the dovetails and clearance are not necessary at all, so I made a v2 without dovetails, where the gap should be much less visible. I will print these parts next, so they are not tested yet.

For large printers, I have included the complete case without the split.

I attached small rubber feet to the bottom.

Print settings:

0.28mm
10 % rectilinear infill
standard supports for the screw holes
5mm brim to prevent lifting

Next up I will rebuild the upper case, with rounder corners, as the sharp corner of the original case always bothers me on my left hand.  :)  

As I am a total newbie in rebuilding and constructing with Fusion, I am open for constructive criticism and ideas.
