Awesome! Glad to see you pushing ahead. I've had to shelve mine for a bit, until I've saved up enough to spring for the parts needed (pretty much everything but the printed parts ). Though I finally got my hands on a key tester and found the keys I like.

Hey vvp, where do you get your acetone? I picked up some 100% acetone nail polish remover from my local CVS today (as I happened to be there already), and went to town on the bottom plate. It however discolored the print. My bottle list denatonium beonzoate as an ingredient (bittering agent, I know)...

Just an update: I've tried printing the palm rest twice, and it keeps peeling up from the bed. I might just use them as it (it's a nice gentle roll off towards the back. Almost looks intentional ! :D If I feel determined, I'll try a full wipe-down of the bed (we used to clean it with Alcohol after e...

@vvp: Looks like I was using oldstable by mistake. I set everything up to use the ubuntu ppa, but a typo made it prefer the oldstable, and I didn't catch it. I'm now running r5886, and everything is working great. I'm getting some weird lock up when loading libs, but if I close the non-rendering po...

@vvp: Are you using KiCad on windows? I'm running into an issue loading the kicad project, and it appears to be a new "feature", where case sensitivity was introduced on *nix systems, but not in the default windows builds. I'll try loading the project on a Windows version of KiCad as soon as I can.

@vvp: I'd be interested in seeing if the ATxmega64a4u will work. I have a USBtiny ISP, so I'll have to dig into the article you linked and see if the patch will work for my programmer (I believe the USBtiny is based on the USBasp). There's a chance a fellow at work has a Dragon I can borrow, so I'l...

Update: The right keywell came out pretty good. I do have to emphasize vpp's warning on taking care near the outer wall of the RJ-45. I caused a partial delamination by rushing through that area a bit. Nothing a bit of super-glue couldn't fix. I started the left keywell over night, and it appears to...

Just wanted to throw my hat in the ring. I too have purchased the STLs. I started printing yesterday. I completed the right bottom plate, and started the right key plate. I had to leave, and left the key plate printing on my machine. Since I knew I was printing overnight before I started, I went ahe...

Awesome project. I really like what you've done with this, and can't wait to try printing. If you need someone to prototype prints, let me know. I have a Lulzbot Taz4 (295x275mm bed) and can print ABS/PLA. I intended to put it on github but it does not allow account sharing which would be convenient...
