Forks

Features

  • As small around the keys as possible
  • Smoother transition between thumb and fingers (less facets)
  • Thicker walls in steep regions where walls were too thin

Generate OpenSCAD and STL models

  • Run lein repl
  • In the repl run (load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/dactyl.clj")
  • This will regenerate the things/*.scad files
  • Use OpenSCAD to open a .scad file.
  • Make changes to design, repeat load-file, OpenSCAD will watch for changes and rerender.
  • When done, use OpenSCAD to export STL files

Tips

  • When trying things out, 10 seconds of rendering time in OpenSCAD is really annoying. Load one of the test outputs with commented out parts that you don't use.
  • If you're not sure what things are generted by a piece of code, color them in using something like (color [0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5] (the code)
