got a foldkb prebuilt with durock sunflower switches, printed a nice purple case for it, and customized a set of KAM keys from yuzu

there's a little gap near the | key. i guess i ordered the wrong size for it, so the switch is in the wrong position for a 1.5u... i dont mind too much :)

Is that texture on the case from your build plate or the fancy new topside fuzzy skin algorithms?

i don't think we used a fancy algorithm, just some fancy filament

you might just be seeing the silver flecks in the metallic material https://proto-pasta.com/products/galactic-empire-metallic-purple-htpla

Well, it came out great! I've always liked the concept of ortho with normal keycap kitting, though it's kind of amusing that you went with a custom and unsculpted set for the one and only ortho that didn't need them. Absolutely no judgment, though. I have spent a lot of time making "bespoke" boards in my garage that are barely any different from commercial offerings.
