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

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.

Being a bit overwhelmed while designing a keyboard.
Use 3 of those YJ-14015 modules (e.g. https://github.com/mattdibi/redox-keyboard/tree/master/redox-w) with a Pro Micro Q2: Is there a way to generate the PCB for this with ergogen or do I have to wing it in KiCad?

Seeking Recommendations for a Custom Split, Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard Project
After some initial research, I've found a couple of models that seem to meet my requirements: the Lily58 and Redox-w v2.

Was given this MS Natural Keyboard Pro on Day 1 at my job. 23 years later, I was told that new equipment will be at the new offices. Still going strong.
There's a website that has a bunch of split keyboard layouts you can print out at full scale and sort of test drive really easily. I did that and found I didn't like the moonlander or ergodox thumb clusters, which is why I went with a Redox instead.

A Rechargeable LiPo Adapter for the Redox
It's just a remix of the original case. Mattdibi also included the STEP and fusion360 file. What I changed on that case: Add a cavity for a 503035 battery, Add a ~3 degrees tilt for the battery and Hex insert for the nuts, making it much easier to assemble / disassemble.

What is the cheapest split ergo with a decent thumb cluster ?
If you want more of a full-size, five-row configuration, get a Redox PCB from Falbatech or Beekeeb.
- I'm so happy 😁

Non wood redox wireless cases to 3d print.
To anyone who is here in 2 years looking to find a good case the soldered PCB is listed on the official GitHub ( https://github.com/mattdibi/redox-keyboard) as the Redox rev1. 0W. This is the soldered version and is the exact same as the one sold on falba tech and is compatible with the official case found here: https://github.com/Pastitas/Redox-neodox-Case.
