dactyl-configurator VS dactyl-generator-demo

I was thinking about printing a fully parameterized DM from here: https://ryanis.cool/dactyl/ (it even. has hotswappable sockets which is cool) but I'm not sure if DM is better than Scylla.

I've just published the first major update to my dactyl generator since its release. I've eliminated the holes that plagued models, improved plate generation, added estimates of the amount of material needed to print supports to the filament estimator, and have made things speedier. If you're interested in the details you can read the release notes on GitHub.

Yeah, i did print it myself, i played a bit with https://ryanis.cool/dactyl and liked the ideia of 4 thumb keys

Sorry, this was generated using ClojureScript. I may get around to setting up the environment in your repo and testing. I will let you know if I do.

ryanis dactyl generator has a 'choc' Key Hole option. This generator outputs openCAD and stl formats.

that said, if you want to play a bit with 3d printing and designing you own keyboard, there's https://ryanis.cool/dactyl, which is a awesome tool to create a dactyl style keyboard the way you feel like

See the dactyl tool linked as a sibling comment: https://ryanis.cool/dactyl by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35769435

For measuring your hand, Google has a machine learning model for hand pose that gives you the joint positions. It's not a full mesh like other tools and it's only a library so you'd have to build a small app around it, yet it's surprisingly accurate. I'm planning on integrating this into the next version of my generator, but it'll likely take a few months to implement & test. If you're interested you can follow the progress.

Seeing the even more complex work that's going into trackball builds, I don't intend for the site to be the be-all and end-all of keyboard generators. I just don't have the time to integrate all those. However, I hope it makes jumping into the dactyl rabbit hole more accessible and fun for everyone. Please let me know what you think! The code is open source at https://github.com/rianadon/dactyl-configurator.

Thank you! This is a great resource if you need an explanation for the settings: https://github.com/yejianfengblue/dactyl-generator-demo. I was hoping to incorporate these into the site... but I haven't figured out what the best way of doing that is yet.

And there is an online 3D model generator for Dactyl Manuform which you can use to create models and see. Here is a repo that demonstrates the variables with example pictures.

https://github.com/yejianfengblue/dactyl-generator-demo show how parameters work

On the main page, you can see there is a little disclaimer which has a full GitHub repo where all the parameters are explained with screenshots.

Check the demo repo: https://github.com/yejianfengblue/dactyl-generator-demo

I use Ibnu D. Ski’s online generator to visualize and play around with options. Definitely worth trying.
