New to ergo keebs; could use some suggestions about the idea that I have in mind
if you are looking for a sculpted/keywell design I would start with something like the https://github.com/sanderboer/chonkybois or https://github.com/Bastardkb/Skeletyl then work on refining your needs from those ideas.

My second custom build: split ergo 5x3 with encoders and aviator connectors!
The only thing I would change is to make it hotswappable, either by having a system like the chonkybois or, more simply, by using socket holders like this :)

Built my first Dactyl Manuform (Velvet)
I was planning to make the Lil Chonky Bois as my second keyboard/first handwired build. The design is pretty similar, but looks like Velvet uses less filament but gives you two more keys.

"lil chonky bois" build
I would really recommend making them, it's a really fun project. The hot swap sockets are inserted in the fitting holes and glued in place. I did not have any problems with the plastic melting, as long as you're careful with the iron you should be fine. Heres the github page were you can find the BOM and information. https://github.com/sanderboer/chonkybois

Design request, manuform-esque corne
Highly recommend checking out chonkyboiswhich has a very gentle sweep.

Anyone know when Kenesis 360 might arrive?
DIY has a lot more options, check out r/ergomechkeyboards and/or kbd.news for inspiration/options. My personal favourites at the moment are chonky bois and dactyl-cc . Word of caution, this is quite a rabbit hole you are standing on an edge off.

Is this layout dumb?
The thumb keys remind me of the hypergolic https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/hypergolic/blob/main/hyper.png

Ortholinear and radially
You're looking for splay. There are a few designs out there. If you're okay with fewer keys, check out the hypergolic

Have you caught the bug yet?
And I am back on 30 keys. This is the latest of my bug keyboards: the Flea. The splay is a little different from the Midge and the Mosquito, with none between the index and middle finger and an extra 5 degrees between the ring and pinkie. This pushes the pinkie out a little bit while also pulling the thumb in. The thumb cluster has a slightly inverted splay to match. My main inspiration for this design is the Hypergolic. I have added a few words on my keymap to the pinned Keymap Tinkering thread.
