Description
This model is also editable on [Tinkercad](https://www.tinkercad.com/things/20VXvaGcfWs-touch-id-box) #### Differences from [SnazzyLabs's model](https://www.printables.com/model/320000-standalone-touch-id-module-for-mac) * Centered Touch ID button (SnazzyLabs's wired TKL model has the button off centered by a few millimeters) * Clickable * No glue * No supports * No screw brass inserts #### Material * 8x M1.2x3 screws (6 for the T bar, 2 for the board) * 2x M1.2x4 screws (for the lightning port) * 2x M1.2 nuts (for the lightning port) * Rubber feet (_optional_) * Electrical tape (_optional_) I bought these on amazon from (non affiliate links) [Small Pan Machine Screw Metric Thread Phillips Cross Recessed Round Head Bolt Assortment Kit 304 Stainless Steel M1 M1.2 M1.4 M1.6](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B094H1Y27X/) [140pcs Hex Nuts M1/M1.2/M1.4/M1.6/M2/M2.5/M3 Stainless Steel Hexagonal Nuts Thread Fastener](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07QB2LWN8/) [Rubber Feet, 232 Pieces Black Adhesive Bumper Pads Self Stick Furniture Bumpers Buffer Pads, 4 Shapes for Doors, Cabinets, Drawers by AUSTOR](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08GLJB3Z4/) #### Instructions * Print one of each of the three parts without support * Disassemble a TKL Touch ID Magic Keyboard (see [guide](https://gist.github.com/KhaosT/1406a6b6bea38f59e059c2afcb39d545)) * Remove the white keycap around the fingerprint sensor (it should look like [this](https://gist.github.com/KhaosT/1406a6b6bea38f59e059c2afcb39d545?permalink_comment_id=4417592#gistcomment-4417592)) * Put the button in the center of the box * Put the T bar on top of the button screw it in with 6x M1.2x3 screws * (_optional_) Put electrical tape over the T bar so that if the screws were to fail and the button gets pushed into the box, no metal will come into contact with the circuit board * Put the board in the box, careful not to pinch the ribbon cables, screw it in with 2x M1.2x3 screws * (_optional_) Put electrical tape on the long ribbon cable * Screw the lightning port into the side of the box with 2x M1.2x4 screws and 2x M1.2 nuts * Slide the lid on to the box * (_optional_) Stick rubber feet on to the lid #### Notes I printed the box and the lid with my Prusa i3 MK3S+ on my Double-sided Powder-coated PEI Satin Spring Steel Sheet, with Prusament Jet Black PETG at 0.20mm QUALITY settings, with 100% infill at 90° fill angle (to looks prettier), with no support. The T bar was printed at 45° fill angle. Then sanded down the surfaces. The button does rattle slightly from having some tolarance around the sides, because for the clicking to work, the button has to have a small gap around it so it can move without getting stuck. #### Credit Main Design from [SnazzyLabs's model](https://www.printables.com/model/320000-standalone-touch-id-module-for-mac) T bar raised pattern from [GLOUPY's model](https://www.printables.com/model/349777-touch-id-box-with-button-press)
