Resin printed keycaps usually look cheap, but surprisingly, they work pretty well as LED diffusers! 😆. #自作キーボード

I used Frank Adams' awesome T4p1_thruhole PCB and a 22-pin 1.25mm pitch FFC connector. Too impatient to wait for the Teensy 4.1 order to arrive, I used that board as a breakout, slapped on an RP2040 Zero, and translated the Arduino code to QMK firmware. Test video:

I selected “Surface Finishing: No” for the resin print, and the package came with a piece of 240 grid sandpaper. That’s the most passive-aggressive act I’ve seen from JLC. 😂. #自作キーボード #WeirdFlexButOk

Started with translucent, then mid-print filament change to matte black. Works great for the underglow! . WeirdFlexButOk, now comes in black 😆.

@joe_scotto Keycaps are from @taneyats’s awesome Shiratama (白玉キーキャップ ), originally design for MX switched. I tweaked it for Choc stems and printed in resin. It’s CC-BY-NC licensed, so personal use only! :-).

@joe_scotto Choc spacing and hot-swappable, plus a super-bendy 0.8mm PCB with kerf bending cuts. It flexes to follow the case’s contour, providing a 15° tilt and 10° tent.

Also trying out the (single layer) 1.6mm aluminium PCB for plates, would look cool if the case is made out of aluminium too
