dactyl-manuform-mini-keyboard VS iamb-manuform

But I've been building keebs for a few years now, and I gotta cut back :-P The biggest issue is it takes forever to print a shell to 'test fit' it. It would actually be cool if you could print the shells upside down so you don't have to print the whole thing to see how it feels.

Oh! looks like there's a OpenSCAD parametric dactyl now (1) I think this was the clojure one I was playing with before: (2)

Carbonfet's version of the dactyl manuform with custom thumb cluster and 1.5u outer keys.

Thanks! Total print time was about 30 hours (much support material). There are not many modifications: its a Dactyl Manuform Mini based on l4u's repo. I only changed the design to fit the USB-C Pro Micros and TRRS-jacks that I bought and added a holder for a reset button.

I've used l4u's repo as base and changed the design to fit the USB-C Pro Micros and TRRS-jacks that I bought.The wiring is quite messy but for my first try I'm very happy.

You should also look at the dactyl manuform mini. It's the repository my keyboard is based on as well and you will find all instructions on how to generate the casing in the README. It is really quite easy and It should be trivial to add an extra row.

Checkout the forks at https://github.com/l4u/dactyl-manuform-mini-keyboard . Probably compactyl or tightyl

Carbonfet’s version is one of my favorite. Another interesting version is Derek’s compactyl. There is also a list of other forks at my version https://github.com/l4u/dactyl-manuform-mini-keyboard

Thank you :) It is completely custom but you can find all the 3d printing files and firmware in my github repository.

But just as a little side note, i also code a lot since i work as a software engineer and i also have a lot of hobby projects and i built my keyboard and layout specifically with that in mind. I placed all the brackets and symbols conveniently in a separate layer (meaning you get a different key if you hold down a modifier, in my case the keys on the thumb cluster). If you think about it, you really don't use numbers all that often when writing code and even if you do, it's super easy to just hold one of those modifiers to get a number. If you are comfortable reading code, maybe you could take a look at my layout config, i think it will be pretty easy to understand how all the symbols and numbers etcetera work.
