My brother has a plethora of model m's. They're fine and all, just out
of production and expensive.
I've made strong inroads. A colleague of mine runs a small 3d print
business and I've discussed what I want to do.
He showed me that there are tons of pi400 projects already done and
plans on thingiverse as we speak. They're all, mostly setup for
mechanical keyboards.
So we're going to use a project already created and adapt it for a
larger keyboard, then slice it up so it'll fit on his print area.
The nice thing is, I have an existing bottom shell that seriously only
needs a small tweaking. We can fix an existing model with the
measurements of the keyboard I want to use and adapt it from there.
The keyboard I selected is a HP SK-2885 because the keyboard assembly is
conveniently attached to the top shell.
So, I'll keep the progress updated and will post videos as we go.
