Atreus62 High Profile Keyboard Case
Description
Custom designed high-profile case for the Atreus62 mechanical keyboard case. ============================================================= Update 12/29/2018: Updated the Atreus62_top.stl to work better with brass heat-set inserts and to make room for solder joints on the underside of the USB-mini breakout. If you downloaded this model earlier today, I suggest grabbing the updated model. Features * 4.75mm integrated switch plate * accommodations that allow switches to snap into plate * switch top removal support * 7deg incline * high profile sides Parts * [Atreus62 PCB](https://shop.profetkeyboards.com/product/atreus62-pcb) * [USB-mini breakout board](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1764) * [Brass heat-set inserts - 94180A312](https://www.mcmaster.com/catalog/124/3395) * [M2 Screws - 92000A011](https://www.mcmaster.com/standard-rounded-head-screws) * Sacrificial USB-micro cabel with minimal housing or [custom made](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1390) * rubber bumpon pads/feet Printing STL models should already be oriented for proper printing. Both Top and Base should be printed with supports, including bridges. Top is printed right side up, base is printed upside down. My printer isn't big enough to print each part whole. I split both Top and Base at 146.7mm (approximate center) and then chemically welded them together. Assembly Use your soldering iron to slowly insert the brass heat-sets. Slightly in-set. If a ring of plastic wells up around the inserts on the perimeter make sure to trim them flush. Otherwise you will get a gap between the top and bottom parts. Do not over tighten the screws. Just enough to keep the top and base together securely. When soldering your switches to the PCB, it's important to keep your solder joints minimal and it may be necessary to clip the switch pins shorter. They cannot protrude above the height of the surrounding diodes. If they do then they may interfere with the base and it won't go together correctly. The idea behind the tight tolerances is to reduce the amount of empty space as much as possible so as to reduce typing sounds. For a plastic keyboard case, it sounds quite nice when setting on top of a desk matte as pictured.
