How to print an A. Dux PCB?
It's on the main page here: https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda latest release of architeuthis dux: https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/releases/tag/architeuthis-dux-202108062008
- Are there any split keyboards that are close to this shape? This is the shape I got from Ergopad.

Pretty in pink
The basics are you download the 'gerber' from the github repo and upload it to jlcpcb or another pcb fab (which fab you chose changes which options are available like solder mask color).

Either socket orientation works, but is one "more" correct than the other? TIA
Yeah, it's a gorgeous board, on both sides. https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/blob/main/Images/architeuthis_dux.png

First build!
Yep! You can find the gerbers and the Ergogen config file I used here. I ended up adding some features to Ergogen while designing, so unfortunately the config won't work with current versions of Ergogen.

The Rufous keyboard is an especially good example of a naturally hand shaped board. Removing the inner index keys make the distance to reach the inner index keys much lower. And removing the bottom pinky, combined with a keymap which doesn't require the top pinky key to be used often, constrains the pinky to its home row position making the angle of the column less pertinent.

Family Photo!
jcmkk3 has a number of hummingbird inspired keyboards that are super nice, so I had to pick it up. I don't have a layout that I could commit to with the 30 key setup, but I know a few people that use 30 key setups every day during work.

QAZ looking cute
The smallest I could see myself using regularly would be a Hummingbird. I like that it’s split but wouldn’t really like to drop more alphas/ branch away from QWERTY too much.
