Hello,

I would print the keycap splitted in the middle (with a gap). Install the two parts and check for the (potential) angle between the two top parts. This will indicate if there are adjustments to be made in your design.

Cheers

Turns out, the keyboard part (R2 to R6) is R310, and the upper part is >R330, may be >R400 - at least on my model M backplate. I have XT, AT and F122 backplates, but my lifting restrictions currently prevent me from accessing those. Expect more results in about two weeks.
Flipper also seems to be ...

Hello,

Just a quick post to state that I keep typing with my 3d printed flippers.
The firmware of my keyboard needs some adaptation (the layout of the keyboard that I used is ANSI). There are two keys which need some adjustment, probably because the back screws are too tight. Otherwise, it works as ...

Congratulations! I specially approve of the extra step you took to print the spring support across the layers, not in parallel.


Thank you :)

There is still work to do. I am sure that my design can be improved. Both in improving the shape of the flipper and the support. Now that we know that it ...

Great work !!! You are getting there DMA !!!
We will have several ways to produce flippers.

I must report success !!

I have been silently working on the 3d printed flippers using the conductive filament which I bought in amazon: EONO Electrically Conductive PLA Filament

This is literally the first text which I am typing using a regular model m, using the FEXT PCB, a ...

Hello,

I have purchased a number of FSSK and FEXT PCBs.
As usual, I will distribute them at cost.
Let me know if you need/want one.

Shipping will be from Germany

Hello,


Just an small update on the flippers: this flilament works to produce flippers:

EONO Electrically Conductive PLA Filament 1.75 mm Conductive 3D Printer Filament, Conductive PLA 1 kg (2.2 lbs), Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm for FDM Printers, Black

I could produce working flippers, but ...

A very interesting discussion

Can't a moderator split out all discussions about how horrible Ellipse is to a new thread so this one can be kept on topic?


My posts are not about "Model F Labs" representative. This is just one of the examples to be considered.
Please do not make it personal. It is not.

Having said the above ...

Hello,

I wonder if there is any discussion about this topic which is not shared.
I have not received any answer.

I keep thinking that this is all but a GB. It’s only marketing and vendor support.
Apart from purchasing and support, no valuable information is being shared.

In my opinion, these types of threads pollute the Group Buy section, but it seems that DT moderators don't mind.
It's very sad to see how ...

Well ... I have received 20 Leyden Jar yesterday. Some in the following picture:
I am ready to ship them, so please PM with your wishes.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but are you using both a vacuum chamber and a pressure pot?


Hello,

You are not late :)


(I was able to cast these in 2012 with normal resin fairly consistently, before I fell off the forum like a degenerate)


Really ?
I am new into casting. I do not have a ...

[So, in your case, epoxy pressure is way lower, and air bubbles won't even be compressed 2x. Which means, in current configuration, that the moment epoxy reaches point "B", all the air remaining within the mold will be forced into the feet.


I see what you mean. I did not contemplated this ...

No, this was not the case DMA.
I made sure that I injected the epoxy from to top (where the spring fits the flipper) and I made a hole to exit the air on the very bottom of the part.

Not sure I understand. The way I see it, whichever way you point the flipper, you'll have either multiple high ...

Hello,

how many metal stems do you need ?
I may have some spares for you.

You can PM me to discuss the details, if you are interested.

Do not worry, I they will not be expensive at all.
If I can help someone to bring his/her keyboard alive, I will be happy. Your joy will pay me back ;)


Edit ...

Hello DMA,

Good to see that you are back on track :) !





3 g graphite
14 ml epoxy
[*] My flipper does not work! The level change happens, but it is too low.

3/17 = 17%. 4g graphite+13ml epoxy will be 23% - which might just be the ticket (could be mechanically unsuitable, in which case ...

Hello,

A quick update on the flippers test during the weekend:


I managed to create a mold for the flippers using silicone. This is my first attempt at doing something like this. It's a learning curve.
I usedthe following mix:


3 g graphite
14 ml epoxy
The resulting flipper was not 100 ...

Any progress ?

I was not thinking on the wiki.
My proposal was to self-host the forum.
The wiki should come later

Very nice ...
Recover soon !

As i have been laid-off from my work for unknown time frame i might try to do something for this project.


I honestly prefer that you keep your job rather than doing something for the FMF !

Dears,

The Leyden Jar are in their way

I believe the consolidated findings from this project should be documented in a centralized location. Searching through the forum is not convenient, and information tends to get lost.

Does anyone have suggestions for a tool we could use?
We could use the wiki, but to be honest, if the main goal of ...
