Has anybody ever done a BUDGET ErgoMechKeyboard?
For a curved keyboard without a 3D printer and without a laser cutter... well, I've imagined something like origami, but never accomplished it.

Where to get started?
My Dactyl Manuform is at https://github.com/jaredjennings/dactyl-keyboard/tree/tshort-plus-jared, including a shell that goes over top for protection in transit.

Ergonomics of dactyl manuform compared to kinesis 2
A common complaint with both the Ergodox and the original Dactyl is that it's only really easy to reach the innermost thumb key. On my tshort Dactyl Manuform I can only easily reach the innermost two thumb keys. There are many thumb layout variations, one of which you have pictured, as well as wider Dactyl variations.

Looking for recommendation from the seasoned vets
For flat keyboards: I haven't seen anyone mention https://jhelvy.shinyapps.io/splitkbcompare/ yet, so I will. With a flat keyboard you can print out the layout on a sheet of paper to initially check it out. For curved keyboards I am not aware of a similar way to cheaply try them out.

Traveling with a Dactyl
If yours is the original tshort version, like mine, grab an STL! If you have modifications (e.g. different thumb cluster, changes to parameters, different ProMicro mounting, TRRS plugs), you'll need to muck about in the source to get it to generate a case for yours.

Testing my Dactyl's fit before printing
(I still want to be able to make paper models someday, though.)

Help - building OpenSCAD files for Tractyl Manuform 5x6
In my design (don't print it just now, I experimented with the key placement and it is wrong and will hurt you), I added web-logs, which are like web-posts, but lying down parallel to the plane of the key, and used them to round off the sharp corners. Belatedly I realize I should have called them web-beams instead. Oh well.

Dactyl Manuform cover
you can go from the other end of the problem, (1) git clone https://github.com/jaredjennings/dactyl-keyboard jdactyl; (2) cd jdactyl; (3) git checkout tshort-plus-jared; (4) lein repl; (5) (load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/dactyl.clj"). but this will get you a tshort dactyl manuform.

Dactyl Manuform - Transport Box Designs?
I made one, but I've never gone to the effort to post a picture of it. It's a shell that goes over each half. https://github.com/jaredjennings/dactyl-keyboard/commit/cd43dfd01e5847cc262664da073d67bb9cae5617.

PSA: Anthony (/u/smyjpmu) is a con artist who scammed us out of more than 13.800 USD / An apology
That's why I mostly want to give people the benefit of the doubt about whether they should share their designs. Partly to try to avoid undercutting entrepreneurs, I've held off trying to develop PCBs for my Dactyl fork, since before this controversy came to light.

The Topton L4 is finally another laptop with a trackpoint
I converted to Ortho keyboards with column stagger rather than row stagger and I haven't looked back. If you haven't, I suggest checking out /r/ErgoMechKeyboards for some great options. https://kbd.news/ is also a really good resource, as is https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards.

From WASD to ESDF, wrist and pinky knucklepain?
Check e.g. this github repository for examples of that type of keyboard. Better shell out some $$ and adjust to one of those now than to have tendon/joint/nerve damage for decades.
- [request] Looking for Ortho-split-kbd somewhere between an ergodox and a corne.
- hard to type because of small hands

The Ultimate Guide to Getting Your First Mechanical Keyboard
You should consider adding links to the comparison site for split keyboard kit layouts, and perhaps the list of Awesome Split Keyboards. They're both good starting points for checking out what's out there, though the Awesome list can be a bit outdated by now.
- Most keys on a low-profile split board

Where to get started?
Awesome Split Keyboards will give you an idea of how the boards look and links to vendors or open source projects (ie. sending Gerber files to a PCB fabricator of your choice)

Please recommend a beginner friendly custom ergonomic mechanical keyboard.
Apologies for the incorrect image link. I assumed it could be edited afterwards. Btw here is the reference image link: https://github.com/diimdeep/awesome-split-keyboards/blob/master/img/Ergotravel.jpg
