White filament and a sharp pocket knife hide many sins, but thanks. It came out quite okay, and the cheap hardboard from Home Depot cuts very nicely with even a cheap laser.
I would rate print quality 10/10, but that made me zoom in and found a gap between two printed parts 😀 OP, it looks too good for that gap! Please fix that asap! Joking ofc, I think its amazing honestly…also dont even know how did you assemble that, but throwing this pic here just in case you want to know how I deal with alignement when gluing 2 parts 😉
It’s actually not secured yet. I included a couple of hexagonal openings in the long legs of the print that should accommodate a heated brass standoff just about right; it’ll be very similar to your alignment pins. I used the idea on my last keyboard and it worked well. The gap will be closed a bit more after securing the screws from the bottom plate. It will be nowhere near “perfect,” and but the end result should be a bit cleaner than this in-progress state. I am fairly pleased how decorative grooves draw the eye away from the seam a bit, but I’m not really trying to hide that it is 3D printed, and that in two pieces.
That looks really good, the quality of the print and quality of the plate are top notch!
