I contacted a laser cutting company and they said the dxf files are not usable because the line is disconnected. In some places at the outer lines where the screws are. Did anyone fix this? Any ideas?
Some or all M3 Inserts are too small for this model. I just heated them up and pushed them much deeper than they really should be to grab onto something.
@Copernico: On the original github repo there are multiple versions with different numbers of buttons.
@stefanblandin: on the github repo it is stated that they use a RJ9 cable (telephone cable) - in theory you could use whatever you like.

Check out the github link for more infos, I think Zach is going to do a video on this one too at some point.

Yes, you could program it in such a way that there is only one (In the setup you would specify one as master and the other to be connected to it, so it doesn't need to be there at all)
I bet there is a way to make a "key shift" key so you can still have a 60%/100% keyboard just on half the keys. (J is J until "key shift" is pushed and is replaced with A) it would be how you program it to input.
I am confused. Why does the content list say that we need 56 switches, diodes etc. when the board has slots for 64? Was this just a very consistent typo?
@ZachFreedman I realized that a little after I asked that and I want to say thank you for uploading this because I am planning on actually making this soon

would it be faster to flip the print and sand the top surface flat?
Instead using a audio jack or telephone cable to connect both sides, can i just connect directly both microcontrollers with solid-core wires?

How do you link the two sides together?
@ZackFreedman can you use only one half of this or do you need to use both halfs of it

yeah probably. get 64 switches, or even a bit more in-case they break

@LynxTrakker2005 They're the same file - just cut it and flip it over.
hi dad
I'll stop asking questions now, sorry.
How do I wire it?
Also, where is the assembly instructions?
Is this more comfortable to use than the flat one?
Zack Freedmans video about Mechanical Keyboards (features this design but not the building of it) is here https://youtu.be/yYcNi9hKxDk
Yeeeeeessssss... where's the link to your video?
