First time building one. 3D printed ergonomic keyboard.
As they said, not by dometyl, rather Derek's separate plate Compactyl.

I designed and built a super-ergonomic trackball-enabled Dactyl Manuform with a crazy mouse level shift mechanism (w/ complete build guide)
This keyboard is an attempt to make a best-of-both-worlds combination between the modular (and support-saving) design of dereknheiley's compactyl manuform (with adjustable wrist rest mounts) and the trackball-enabled design of the noahprince22's tracktyl manuform, forking the firmware from Schievel1's dactyl_manuform_r_track.

Compactyl 5.0
A couple of minor changes i might make for 5.1, but STLs available at https://github.com/dereknheiley/compactyl if you'd like to build it asap.

Chordic Keyboard Layout – For the 42-Key Corne/crkbd
The spacing depends a lot of the configuration, for example some iterations of Derek's compactyl made for SA caps have had very close edge to edge key spacing. Also centre to centre key spacing on key wells is easy to get tighter than Choc spacing, so even if you've configured with a little more gap for whatever your keycaps are compared to mbk, a press between them is going to be less off-centre than it would be for chocs (which also perform worse with off centre presses than mx).

current build might be a little bit of an odd duck in terms of colours
The v4 STLs should be in the repo, that's what's pictured above. I rarely go back and change old STLs unless there's a glaring issue. https://github.com/dereknheiley/compactyl/tree/master/things/compactyl-v4.0-5x6-hotswap

Remove bottom row from Dactyl Manuform?
I've modified dereks compactyl to remove the last row and get a regular 3x5, but I'm assuming you'll want to have the DM thumb cluster with 5 buttons rather than the compactyl one with 3, right?

Favorite Designs with Built-in/Attached Palmrests?
Dereks compactyl repo also provides an adjustable way to position crystalhands palm rest.

Any manuforms with builtin hand rests like kinesis advantage
additionally there are several on github, mine is like https://github.com/dereknheiley/dactyl-manuform-tight but there are at least three others i can’t find from my phone

This is my first custom keyboard and thought "how bad can hand wiring be." I've drastically underestimated the time requirement lol
I ask $60 for a set with the necessary cables and RP2040 MCUs. I can ship to australia but it would likely be fairly expensive though. The PCBs are also designed to be used with my own fork of the dactyl, here.

No more lugging my keyboard between home and office (Dactyl Manuform 5x7, mixed MT3 key caps, Boba U4 Silent Tactile switches)
I can't speak for OP but IIRC the Carbonfet repo has a configurable file that lets you select for the alternative thumb cluster layout. I like it a lot more than the default Dactyl Manuform cluster. It's easier to access with your thumb with less stretching.
-
In progress hot-swap 7x5, thoughts for colour
Yeah I generated them with the help of Carbonfet github repo I can upload my version later. The right hand I used full support. The left I cut it in half and printed it in two pieces and glued it. This was way better and used minimal supports.

Help needed with wiring (keyswitch orientation problem, dactyl manuform 6x7)
It looks like you printed an STL that included nubs, but your switches don't support nubs. Those switches are supposed to be either North or South facing. See the first bullet point under "Features" from this link: https://github.com/carbonfet/dactyl-manuform

Thinking of building a dactyl manuform
I used the 5x7 fork from carbonfet for a while and really liked the thumbcluster of it. I currently use a 3x5+3 layout because I realized that I don't use a lot of the keys after integrating layers into my keymap and now I use a layout based on miryoku.

Loligagger Elite-C Holder gone?
I don't know if it would fit the case you've assumedly already printed, but my fork with those holders is here.

[CA-ON] [H] Dactyl-Manuform w/ 75g Clickiez [W] Paypal
It seems like your questions was already answered in another thread, but it's my own thumb cluster, the fork itself is here. There are some slight differences between what's on my fork and these boards I have up for sale (mostly just changes to the MCU holder to accommodate the PCBs I use).

Questions about configuring a Dactyl Manuform shape
I want my keyboard to be as comfortable as possible because I got some bad RSI. I figured I would use this fork, because it has special mounts for a pro micro, an option to have the 7th column with 1u keycaps, and it should also work with kailh switches. I can already compile it and open it in openscad
-
Had fun with keycaps today
Go with the Carbonfet-Dactly, not the original, as it has a different thumb cluster arrangement. In the original only three to four buttons of the six are easily reachable, which is a bit annoying. Reconfiguring some of the 1.25u keys to be 1u can make it a bit easier to find keycaps.
