lumberjack-keyboard VS for-science-keyboard

Yup, I love using them on my DIY Lumbjerjack keyboard.

Lumberjack Assembly Guide

Designed by the very talented Peej, The Lumberjack is a DIY 5x12 ortholinear "mono-split" keyboard using through hole parts for easier assembly, fits in most 60% keyboard cases, and supports MX, Choc v1, and Alps switches. Check out Peej's Github page here for all the details on this incredible keyboard.

the Lumberjack is what got me into ortholinear boards; it’s his second revision and I imagine he (and others) would be happy to provide some design suggestions about how to space things out for maximum compatibility with cases.

For all the details on Peej's board, check out his Github page.

I'm trying to build a Lumberjack keyboard but I'm having a very hard time sourcing the case. I'd like a case that hides the switch stems, so like the Tofu60, not the Planck EZ style.

Ah, it's a custom PCB design https://github.com/rgoulter/keyboard-labs/ and the design takes a clear inspiration from the Lumberjack PCB https://github.com/peej/lumberjack-keyboard

/u/phbonachi I recently build my first split keyboard (a 3d printend version of the for_science board). I am currently 'hunting' for a layout and have first looked hard at Miryoku, then at another layout called PUQ and now at hands down.

I was wondering what the workflow would be to convert from Gerber files into other formats. My use case is that I want to build a handwire prototype of a split keyboard but there are only gerber files available (I'm looking at the For Science).

I'm aware of other keyboards smaller than 100x100. https://github.com/peej/for-science-keyboard or https://github.com/MasayukiFukada/kotonoha_keyboards (and others). ... ;) I like the allure of "you can save a few dollars on PCB fabrication". -- Most of these small boards don't opt to go for the fancy per-key RGBs.

https://github.com/peej/for-split-keyboard and https://github.com/peej/for-science-keyboard (from the same designer: related to "ortho in a 60% case", but not as budget friendly: https://github.com/peej/lumberjack-keyboard). If you can tolerate just switches + PCB, something like https://oddrocketkeyboards.blogspot.com/2018/05/5plit-v1.html would be quite cheap.
