of course this is just a prototype, it needs to be cast on orange resin.

Seasonal keycaps! A whole new magnitude of wallet hack!
(Halloween might be a bit overrepresented with all those skulls everywhere...)
It does look terrific and it's a great idea.

I had no red LED apart for the one on the FC660, so I took a picture over the leopold just for the drama.
I'd have so many ideas for novelty keys...

Nice, now if you could try milling some pcb's to see how that goes it would be epic cause i found this http://www.watterott.com/en/Printed-Cir ... le-plating we could actually do double sided pcb's and use these rivets for plating.

How can you cnc the top and bottom of the stock and not have the keycap fall out? (i.e. how do you remove your finished product from the stock)

magic! 
nah, you can leave some material and remove it at the end (some use small tabs, but I don't like them much)

and this is a keyboard case, not yet 100% finished, but I like it.
It's acrylic, but the plate is 3mm with little pockets for the switch clips
Some edges seem rough but that's just some waste material to be removed and acrylic dust/powder.
(bottom is glossy, top is matte)
the plate is 3mm thick but it goes 1.5mm deep into the sides.

Mmm… now you're onto something. With CNC, we can essentially submerge individual components into the base by making custom indentations for them. Colour me intrigued.

Those are 3 objects? Base plate, frame and top plate? Looks very nice! I would say you will populate the term 'European customs'.

yes, they are 3 items. The case despite being acrylic is extremely sturdy. The side is one 10mm block, the plates 3mm. At the end is very solid.
Also, I'll provide nice matching feet

Looks awesome, I bet the ultra-thick plate feels very nice. Would it be possible to make the plate out of metal, too? That would be hell of a plate!
Do you plan to sell those cases anytime soon? I probably would buy one for my FaceU.
How are the pieces held together? Glued?

I don't know if/when I'll sell it. I need some more prototyping. I could do an on demand service, I don't think I want to mass-produce them. I've got an idea to reduce production cost, though. Have to make some tests.
The parts are screwed together (no holes in the pictures yet)
