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.

This is my first custom keyboard and thought "how bad can hand wiring be." I've drastically underestimated the time requirement lol
I printed a hot swap compatible case from files generated using this repo from Wylder Builds. The sockets fit pretty well without glue, but not all are tight enough to never pop out. Depends on your print tolerances (mine are okayish).
- Wylderbuilds new trackball model tweaks and BRICKS for easy, cheesy tenting!
-
I test printed a Dactyl case to see if I like the shape
Regarding trackball and thumb cluster variants of a Dactyl ManuForm: wylderbuilds github has pretty much the majority of, if not every, Dactyl ManuForm thumb cluster and trackball thumb cluster variations.

Let's Design a Keyboard with Ergogen v4: Introduction – FlatFootFox
https://www.etsy.com/shop/Wylderbuilds is a place I've used in the past. They sell parts and completed keyboards, but also have a link out to github with their modifications, at https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard. The whole dactyl space is definitely a rabbit hole, though.

Help with choosing part for my first dactyl manuform build
There's examples of dactyl manuform cases with trackball housing (example GitHub repo), though the circular display is going to be a design topic in itself. Most likely the display protrudes from the upper inner side of case slightly, like a sky scraper roof top Helipad 😋
