平平 平平

── Beyond the build. A practical book that adds a new layer of depth to custom keyboards through "DIY cases."

📎 Recommended for these people!

  • People who want to make their custom keyboard "more personalized"

  • People who want to try making cases and parts with 3D printing

  • People interested in acrylic plate design or design data on GitHub

  • Keyboard enthusiasts who are about to dip their toes into the "case rabbit hole"

📘 About this book

  • Title: A Book on Making Custom Keyboard Cases with 3D Printing (E-book version)

  • Author: Pekaso (plus TK2S Purchasing Department)

  • Published: 2020 (Comic Market 97)

This book is a practical guide that supports those taking on the challenge of "
making a custom case using a 3D printer" as the "next step" after assembling a custom keyboard. It provides careful explanations, particularly on
how to obtain dimensions from design data published on GitHub and basic approaches to designing to match existing plates
.

💡 What you can learn from this book

  • How to design 3D cases that fit custom keyboards

  • How to read and interpret design files published on GitHub

  • How to extract and adjust dimensions to match acrylic plates and PCBs

✍️ 3 memorable points

  1. The design perspective of thinking about "after use" is fresh
    The idea that completing the keyboard isn't the end, but rather where customization begins, is interesting. The attitude of continuing to design with "post-use improvements" in mind makes creation even more fun.

  2. Data reading explanations friendly to design beginners
    I appreciate the thorough approach that allows for solid "pre-investigation" before importing into software like Fusion 360. Even for those looking at design data for the first time, it's reassuring as it makes it easy to grasp the image of actual dimension acquisition.

  3. Realizing the "freedom of cases" beyond just acrylic
    By thinking from the "case" perspective, a new angle on the question of what a custom build is comes into view. You realize the depth of design where you can pack in your own preferences, from materials and shapes to structures.

🚀 Things you can do starting today

  • Go check out your favorite PCB designs published on GitHub

  • Save the acrylic dimension drawings and try modeling them in 3D using software like Fusion 360

  • Start by drawing your 'ideal enclosure' for the keyboard you've built on paper and let your imagination run wild

🧠 Summary

'Making your own case'—that is an approach that takes the perfection of a custom keyboard to the next level.
This book is a '3D printing practical guide' that carefully leads even design beginners through the process without stress.

🗣️ A word after reading

It doesn't end when you assemble it. Once you make a case, it all starts again from there.
