This is a macro pad that utilizes the “Bauble” Christmas ornament ball made by Knipex.
16 nicely sunken keys, up to 45 degrees of tilt, print-optimized. Printed on a textured PEI sheet in black PETG, it looks like a piece of vintage Hi-Fi equipment.
I recall seeing the same ball being used for the Easter present pack, which should also be compatible (or was it Wera?).
List of parts:
* 8x heated thread inserts for m3 bolts
* 4x heated thread inserts for m2 bolts
* 8x m3 12mm bolts
* 4x m2 8+mm bolts
* 16x Cherry-compatible switches
* 16x Diodes
* 1x Development board
* 1x USB cable (you'll have to cut and solder it back together, so non-sleeved USB 2.0 cable is the best choice)
* Wires and solder
The files attached represent the whole list of parts to be printed for the assembly.
Note 1: Shims are the same part. Nuts are the same part also.
Note 2: Shims are meant to be installed between the facade and the body. They compensate for the inaccuracies in measurement and further improve the rigidity of the macro pad.
Note 3: I did not save the STL of the bracket, used for mounting the WeAct Blackpil 3.0, used in my build. The mounting hole pattern is 35x35mm square, utilizing m2 bolts. If you are serious about reproducing this project, I'll be glad to design a bracket for your development board of choice.
