Hi all, I made a chasis & travel case for my Corne so I could take it to & from work easily whilst testing the Corne form factor.

So far it has been working quite well for me.

Hopefully someone else might also find it useful.

In the mean time I’m working on a new keyboard design that has the same basic form factor as a Corne with the following additions:

  • Since I move between Windows & Mac I’ve added two additional buttons to the bottom row.
  • I’ve added EVQ encoders in the place of TRS jacks as the build is 100% wireless.
  • I’ve also increased the battery size to ~250mAh without changing build thickness.
  • I’ve added a single colour backlight circuit.
  • A fully 3D printable chassis & travel case.
  • Depending on the cost I’ll also be doing an aluminium case, but I think that may be too expensive (I’ll see I guess).

Boards are coming from JLPCB soon, if the whole thing works I’ll open source it & post here.

    Thanks.

    I used Shapr3D, it’s a really nice cross platform package but I mostly use it on iPad, it lets me create things without needing to be at a desk.

    The surface texture comes from the build plate (Bambu textured PEI build plate), the hiding scratches is exactly why I used it.
