External Link X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] porta-john design update, working on moving the seams to line up with an edge to eliminate long noticable seams. These seams are required because I don’t have a printer big enough to print this in one shot. hotswaps are going in. I’m getting really excited for hotswaps as they will make keebs more repairable, and users can self change out the switches if they want. I can also pre-build them ready to go, and drop in switches at the time of order. I did learn today that these are hyper specific to gateron, damn all these switch manufacturers and their special pinouts. Last thing I gotta make more room for wiring the microcontroller and running wires out to the rows and columns, my first prototype build took waay to long to build. Note This post is a thought [2].

External Link X (formerly Twitter) · x.com [1] This low profile design almost made it to 9. I think blending together the custom brim to make them all one piece really made the final difference here. The custom brim is two layers thick, only touching on the top layer making it very easy to peel off, but gives better adhesion to the bed, and does not loose one like this print did.

[1] MX keycap stem dimensions. I used these to create my new caps and all these dimensions worked great. The one dimension I had issues with was the outer diameter off the cap stem, not shown here. 5.3mm ended up being a good outer diameter for me. I print them at an angle and the bottom of the stem can get a bit of sag, pressing out on the outer wall of the switch and can actually stick the key. Note This post is a thought [2].

Taildrop · Tailscale Docs Send files between your personal devices on a Tailscale network. Tailscale · tailscale.com [1] Tailscale comes with a feature called taildrop that lets you easily share files between machines on your tailnet. If you have tailscale on ios/android it shows up as a share target when you try to share something, and you can pick the machine to share with. What was not obvious to me was how to receive the file on linux. The linux tailscale service does not automatically receive the file, which can be kinda nice that you can put it where you want, but was not obvious to me at first. Use this command to receive files. sudo tailscale file get . Note This post is a thought [2].
