Neither saving the file and loading from there, or manually copying the raw code and pasting into OpenSCAD will work.

For the Hi-Pro Top Full shell, which screws best to use on top of a top plate?

I think the hole is 5 mm deep, so 8 mm M2 screws?

I printed both the ergodox 1.5mm middle layer and the tenting legs and adapters, and after installing them with M3 16mm screws, I noticed that the 6 key stopped working. Upon further investigation I found that the screw broke off the transistor for that key by pushing through it.
I followed the official iris assembly guide and the pdf in the ergodox tent legs folder.

I think adding an extra nut in the inside of the leg before the screw would reduce the amount the screw juts our of the middle layer hole, but I'm not completely certain.

This also only happened on the right board because the transistor for the keyslot on the left board is located lower on the pcb.

While I think most will assume that when using ponoko or sculpteo you multiply the cuts by 2, it is not totally clear that the files are for left and right hand. It would be helpful to put a blurb in that indicates you make 2 of the same cuts for each piece, and they will be interchangeable for right or left side.

Hi, it would be nice to have higher poly count stl files for smoother printing in materials other than PLA; e.g. resin prints could be perfectly smooth.

Hello,

I noticed the design for the nut retention on the PE middle layer (Ergodox tent) has switch from a recessed M3 nut(legacy) to a square nut channel. The documentation should be updated to reflect the new requirement of a m3 square nut.

Any printable case to cover the sandwitch plate without dissoldering the PCB and chaning the plate itself ?

Loaded the PE switch plate files in F360, the '1u only' file seems normal, but 'iris-PE-switch-plate-mx-3mm.dxf' is scaled up to have sides that are ~2m long. Based on the 1u file, it looks like it's around 25.4x larger than intended

I'm a total beginner in this. I was trying to load the .ai files and .svg files in Adobe Illustrator but all failed. .ai ended up with a pop-up window saying importing as a text file, and .svg resulted in "This SVG is invalid". Is it possible this is related to some version issue?

Hello,

The model for the PE middle layer (Ergodox/nolip) has a very small hole for the USB compared to the legacy edition. Because of this, it is incompatible with many of my USB cables as the connector is too large to fit in the whole. Requires heavy sanding to give enough clearance for cable to be inserted. Request that the main USB holes be widened to accommodate third party USB cables.7

The middle layer tented file indicates a slightly small dimension which can not be adjusted on the Sculpteo site. Are the dimensions correct?

153.7 × 121.8 mm

Guidance for using the Ergodox tenting kit on an Iris instructs choosing a set of M3 nuts for attaching the legs. The standard width for DIN 934 M3 nuts (across the flats) is 5.5mm. However, the indents for the nuts have a width of 6mm in the design for "Iris R4 Middle Layer - Ergodox Tent Kit for 1.5mm Plate".

As it is already difficult to get the legs fastened tight enough that they do not become loose, this makes it next to impossible as the nuts are allowed to spin freely in their slot. Or have I missed something obvious here?

I tried fixing it myself, but lack the skill to do this neatly with just the mesh file being available. I thought about even switching to a 5.5mm square nut instead in order to make it less likely to spin.

Ponoko's laser cuts a 0.01mm stroke. Do the design files need to be adjusted for that? It seems awfully tiny -- it's barely visible in Inkscape unless I zoom in to almost 200%.

The generated SVGs are here.

Hi There, I was uploading the middle layer to sculpteo, however when I try to add the dimensions specified, their software forces me to a fixed aspect ratio of 155.3mm x 133.9mm or 153.7mm x 132.5mm.

Could you please confirm that the dimensions need to be 153.7mm x 133.9mm. If so, do you have suggestions for how to get around the fixed aspect? Thanks.

The switch layer appears to fit the correct dimensions.

As the title says, please upload the file you used to generate the STLs for the PE middle layers.

The triangulation on the STLs is kind of jacked up and it makes doing simple things like adding a chamfer to the bottom edge, and adding a lip to make a more sandwich style case that doesn't need the top bit a kind of massive pain.

@CharlesLenk whenever I render the model I get no top-level geometry to render. Is there a fix for this? I changed the user configurable options to

two_unit_thumb = false;
stabilizers = true;
usb_c_pro_micro = false;
trrs_diameter = 6.55;
selector = 5;

What needs to happen to the community made case in order support the rev3? Can the file be adapted or does it need to be designed from scratch?

I'd be willing to help with this but I don't know where to start.

I am trying to print the ergodox tentable middle layers and it looks like the STL files are meant to be mirrored before printing to get both sides--is this correct?

Thanks.

Pretty please, would you share the middle layers that are tent-able.

Hello,

I wanted to order this case from lasergist because it is sold out on keeb.io. Thanks to the README I can fulfill the creation form without problems except for one field, the PATH LENGTH:

PATH LENGTH
How long are all the paths in your design combined?

If you can tell me what is the correct value for that parameter I'll ve very grateful

Hi thanks for the awesome keyboard :) I'm totally in love with it.

I have 1 question about the middle layer file.
Looks like the issue creator in #18 managed to create the opposite hand's file.
But I'm a noob so would be awesome if someone can point out how to create the opposite hand's stl file for this one: https://github.com/keebio/iris-case/blob/master/rev3-only/Iris%20R3%20Middle%20Layer%20-%20Normal%20for%201.5mm%20Plate.stl

Thanks.

Would it be possible to get the interior screw designs?

The current README indicates the middle, bottom and switch layers for a case. Yet, there is a tented version, which when I enter in the Sculpteo site, indicates slightly different dimensions than what the info says. I assume its right since I can not adjust the 2nd dimension as it auto-adjusts when I enter the 153.7 dimension data in.

It is not clear if the top layer is ALSO needed, or it that is only for the TENTED version middle layer.

Hi,

first off: thanks for making the designs for the cases available!

When I had a look at the rev. 3 middle layers I noticed the cut-outs for the USB and TRRS jacks are not centered, so I can just 3D print the part twice and flip it around.

I would really much appreciate it, if you could make STL files for the right hand halves of the rev. 3 middle layers which have the correct mirrored jack positions.

Thank you very much.

I just printed this file, and when i tried to assemble it i noticed that the holes in the middle layer don't go all the way through, so i can not put it together

i checked all the other middle layer files in the rev3/rev4 directory and those all have holes that go all the way through

Hi Maintainers,

Thank you for your work on this project! Quick question, it seems to be that there is no middle plate for rev4 that can be resized to the appropriate dimensions specified in the readme file. I am missing something?

Thank you

Hello, hope all is well. I'm noticing when I open the illustrator file for 1.5mm thick switch plate in Illustrator, the holes in the plate measure 15.45mm wide (too wide) and 13.85mm tall (not tall enough.) Verified by printing out and trying to fit switches. I created new illustrator files and converted to svg then stl, and once printed they seem to fit much better (though to keep things simple I went with plain square holes.)

I'm wondering if I'm missing something though, because I see others are mentioning that they've had success with these files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
