Finally got around to rebuilding my custom 1800 style mechanical keyboard. She isn't perfect, but overall I'm very happy with the outcome!

The cutting frequency harmonising with your background music at 6:36 is quite pleasing.

I'm so glad someone finally noticed that! That was done totally on accident and I'm not sure I could do it again even if I tried lol.

I can't be the only sad one that didn't get to hear the melodious tones of the clicking of the keys after you were done. well done.

To anyone that reads this in the future as to why I didn't do a typing test. I had a handful of issues assmeblying the board, and ended up with clearance issues and the split space bars. I'm not sure if this is due to the fact the split space bars in the ePBT keycaps set are bad quality, or that I'm not using a dedicated PCB for the whole board, or if my tolerances are off, but they would hit the bottom trim piece. I'll be going back and doing some design changes at some point, however I've decided to shelve the project for now.

This looks awesome! Hoping to design and make my own 60% case in the next couple of months. Hoping to get my mill running well during that time. Glad my machine can run 3/8" end mills though, or bigger. My machine will have a rougher time with the tiny 1/8" and smaller end mills though :/ Low RPMs on mine. I get to run 2" aluminum face mills though lol. Glad you got the air blast at least. I still recommend mist coolant but your MDF wasteboards wouldn't be too happy about that lol. Overall, looking good!

@@ProjectsbyBrian Yeah and your tools would be less susceptible to aluminum attaching itself to your end mills and increase tool life.

Nice machining! I’m new to the CNC world and was thinking of dipping my foot with a ooznet Workbee / Shapeoko type machine, but honestly, I do wonder if the money and time would be better spent on a a printNC machine.
