I wanted to build a split Ergo from scratch, with a slightly more aggressive stagger than the Lily58 style board I had previously built. I also wanted to have a stabilized 2U spacebar and some RGB. The part that was most time-consuming was definitely designing the case in CAD and getting the switches and stabilizers to fit properly. Fortunately, it’s all pretty well documented so there wasn’t too much trial and error involved. Overall, it turned out pretty well!
This has such a nice finish, you really went above and beyond to get it looking good.
I don’t know much about 3D printing, how did you get the outer surfaces looking so clean?
Either he used ironing or an resin printer. I don’t know if you can get such a smooth surface with just ironing.
He could also sanded it
Thanks! The top surface looks pretty clean because I used the ironing feature, where the hot nozzle of the printer runs across the surface without extruding filament (or very little) to even out imperfections and small gaps. The print has its problems tho, probably like any 3d print. Optimizing your 3d printer and the print results is basically a hobby in itself.
