As a mechanical engineer myself I was shocked at the choice of cnc vs 3d printing. As, cnc is quite difficult to cut out sharp angles with tall walls Still, very well made. Subscribed 😊

Even for a prototype this was amazingly well done. While the finish may not have been what you wanted you made a pretty classic sound profile and overall interesting and clean design. Can't wait to see where this goes in the future!

All I wanted is to find a way to make a keyboard PCB for an existing case, and maybe save some money instead of buying a new product. But the whole process looks like a f**kin journey to a Mordor, while a legion of different beasts want to clap your cheeks. Mad respect for the dedication to the craft and patience.

Insane. Do you have a rough estimate on how much material cost went into the case? I assume the CNC, laser cutter, etc. usage was free, but do you know how much that'd cost if outsourced to a shop?
@koovin02 Жыл бұрын
There is a big difference between one-off costs and production run costs, because it is always cheaper to buy materials in bulk and it is very time consuming for manufacturers to setup for just a single prototype. If you play your cards carefully and your design is simple you could probably stay under 200-300 USD for material costs for a single prototype. However, labor costs are expensive and I've heard that you can expect to pay at least 500 USD for a single prototype to be manufactured. Again, it depends on the design complexity so you can expect it to reach up to 1000 USD if you aren't careful
@HexlGaming 6 ай бұрын
This is kindof a reality check. Assembling a keyboard, fine. but making one? idk.
@koovin02 6 ай бұрын
It's not typical for keyboard designers to create machine code and actually operate the CNC machines, most just send their designs to overseas manufacturers for a few rounds of prototypes before production. However, this still requires an understanding of CNC machining limitations during the design process. Whether or not you machine it yourself, it will still cost a lot of money.
@HexlGaming 6 ай бұрын
yeah you really did go beyond everything I would have expected in terms of building the keyboard. for me I don't see myself going quiet that far, but it was very interesting to watch the full process @@koovin02

You can try to make the case from wood. I don't have access to a nearby CNC machine or any 3d printer, so I basically created a friction fit case using power tools.

Remember the good old days when u needed a 60 percent case, you could just buy it because it was mostly standardized. Now with gasket mounting and stuff, the era of standardization is over. But I wish there was a standard 60-65 % Gasket mounted case that I could buy off the shelf and slap in a standard pcb that I designed.
