Corne, but with a wider thumb cluster and stronger column stagger?
There are a few things that are close: * The Cantor/Piantor: more aggressive stagger and slightly changed thumb cluster. * The Swept Corne: essentially a big sweep. * The Hillside 46/48: This comes in many forms which are very similar to what you are looking for. Essentially an extra aggressive stagger (and perhaps splayed) Corne with a bigger thumb cluster.

a second half stops working
I have a piantor (https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor 2x rpi pico WeAct, halves connected by a TTRS cable, vial firmware for WeAct) keyboard built by myself (I soldered somethink like 10 years ago so I'm not an expert). It worked great but now the right half started to stop working. It happens after some idle time and happened once during usage. Diode is on on the broken half even when it does not work.

Please share your Piantor keyboard keymap files.
Couldn't find anywhere to download keymap files for Piantor keyboard, and don't have enough determination to start from scratch designing myself. Could you please share some of your creations? Thanks. My Piantor is a RPI0 variant, if that matters.

No it is the default case, see beekeep GitHub https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor/tree/main/case

Piantor and Leeloo
Ah yeah sorry, the piantor is not wireless (i removed the trrs cable to get them closer together). I traded off the convenience of wireless for an easier unpacking job (no need to make sure everything is charged, flip the on/off switches etc.) Not sure if someone has tried making a wireless variant. The repo is https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor

Brass and stainless Kyria, wireless hotswap
The official case files (no kerf for laserboost) are in git, but also keep in mind they are not ideal with hotswap boards since they have cutouts for stabs and encoders which prevent clipping on many switches. You can use those in any case if you want to see the exact price for your combo. In production, better use a file that doesn't have those cutouts (such version of the official file is circulating in splitkb discord, you'll probably get it if you ask for it there or make a search) - unless you use 2u buttons and want stabs of course. In my experience encoders can be mounted without extra cutouts and look better that way.

Kyria case out of aluminum layers?
I see that SplitKB has case files for 3D printing and laser cutting in acrylic. Would it be possible to use those files with a service like SendCutSend or Ponoko to have them cut the layers out of aluminum instead?
