Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

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 have been using my Pteron36 layout for a long time, I was looking for a All In one solution to get reduce the wrist movements without using mouse from keyboard keys, and hence integrated a trackpad. I will be keeping this open source once a few things have been resolved

How was this designed?
I can see it must have been a little involved with multiple pieces that needed to fit a 3D printer buildplate.

Designed a complete case, then cut the body in two part, add some tolerance, and it’s ready
