Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I wanted to build a split Ergo from scratch, with a slightly more aggressive stagger than the Lily58 style board I had previously built. I also wanted to have a stabilized 2U spacebar and some RGB. The part that was most time-consuming was definitely designing the case in CAD and getting the switches and stabilizers to fit properly. Fortunately, it's all pretty well documented so there wasn't too much trial and error involved. Overall, it turned out pretty well!
Thanks! The top surface looks pretty clean because I used the ironing feature, where the hot nozzle of the printer runs across the surface without extruding filament (or very little) to even out imperfections and small gaps. The print has its problems tho, probably like any 3d print. Optimizing your 3d printer and the print results is basically a hobby in itself.
