So... any way to change the stl files to use ISO? Only three keys to edit eheh. I can deal with the QMK part

Finished building the second one of these and went to try out the changes to QMK Configurator and they are still shifted right, so I'm back on using the default hex you supplied.

Hi,

First, thank you for putting together this keyboard and instructions. This is an awesome project!

When trying to follow the instructions and print/build/assemble the keyboard, I seem to have found an issue that may require either updating the printing instructions, or perhaps some change to one or more .stl files. I am a newbie so this may just be my misunderstanding -- please feel free to close this issue.

The printing instructions in readme.md indicate that no supports need to be added when printing, with the exception of wrist pads.
However, the split89_left_body.stl has elements (bolt pillars) that hang down from the main body but do not touch the base plate. "As-is" slicing in Cura produces a gcode file that is not printable, because the printer then tries to start printing those bold pillars "from the air" at some distance from the base plate, and the filament has nothing to adhere to. Please see an attached screenshot where I circled (in grey) the four columns in left_body.stl that do not touch the base plate.

Reproduction steps:

• I use Ender-3 v2 printer, Cura v 4.13.1, printing with generic PLA filament
• Open split89_left_body.stl in Cura, do not enable supports, slice, send directly to the printer.
• The bolt pillars in the middle of the body do not get printed. Extruder extracts the filament that hangs in the air.
• (I have not yet attempted to complete the print - stopped after a few layers).

I'm currently attempting to print the left body with supports automatically generated in Cura, but that obviously adds a lot of extra material to be printed, so I thought I'd ask you if that was the design intent of that body part.

Thanks for looking at this, and again, please feel free to close if this is just a user mistake.

Thanks,

Denis.

When flashing the firmware made from the QMK Configurator, all of they keys are shifted over as if the columns are misconfigured. For example, the backspace key is actually the =, the insert key is the backspace, etc. This happens on both the left and the right side. The rows seem to be right, the columns seem to be shifted left by one.

Tested both in a wired left hand keyboard, and flashing to an arduino and manually connecting the pins relating to the rows/columns.

Would it be possible to get the F3D/Source files for the housing? It would be useful to adapt the board for low-profile keys:

The dimensions of low profile keys is slightly smaller than regular full-profile keys:

... dimensions of 11.9 x 15.0 x 15.0mm (H x W x D). For the record a conventional MX switch measures 18.5 x 15.6 x 15.6mm (H x W x D) ...

I'd be happy to give it a shot and update the stls for low-profile keys.
