Is there any way to squelch certain threads from the spy view? Sometimes uninteresting but wildly active threads trump all over what I'd rather see.
Yeah, I'd love to not see the politics threads in the spy. The only pointless bickering I want to see on Deskthority is about input device ...

In the green forums, the post icons indicating read/unread posts are harder to distinguish than the icons in the other themes. Could we possibly get a green unread icon ( https://deskthority.net/styles/deskthority_green/imageset/icon_post_target_unread.gif ) that has a bit more contrast from the ...

Oh, I just remembered something that invalidates the "K means keyboard" theory. Alps SKQG switches are just little surface mount pushbutton switches that have nothing to do with keyboards.
I guess this leads us to "K means keyboard, except when it doesn't". Alps were more than inconsistent enough ...

All in all, that looks like a pretty nice board layout. One note though: it's generally a bad idea to put vias in the middle of pads (except thermal pads/vias–go nuts with vias there!). They suck up solder, leaving too little for the component itself and creating a poor joint. For a component with ...

PLA has a huge problem of not dissolving easily, so solvent bonds are near impossible
You must not be using the right solvent. Dichloromethane dissolves PLA readily, so glues such as Weld-on Scigrip 16 work great for PLA. Be warned though, DCM is not a solvent to be taken lightly: it's much more ...

The port is rock solid now, but I will add .05-1mm to the peg diameters. The fit is almost too tight.
Ah, now that I look at your models, I see what may be part of that problem. Making holes in OpenSCAD by difference-ing out a cylinder always results in a hole that's slightly too small, since you ...

If you want some first hand advice for the Ultimaker:
Get some Kapton tape for that glass plate. Platform adhesion has never been an issue for me since I did that. First patch still in place after 50+ prints. If you can, very wide Kapton tape so you can cover the whole printable area in one piece ...

My gut feeling is that if we make a new controller with new capabilities, we shouldn't keep using 8-bit MCUs. ;)
I'd love to redesign xWhatsit's controller with a shiny new ARM microcontroller, USB, and Bluetooth. I'm honestly not sure I understand the desire to make a modular keyboard controller ...

Oh, also, the shot of the PCB from the bottom should have the connectors on the opposite sides, but if it's just a mock up for us that shouldn't matter.
It's pretty standard for EDA software to show the bottom of the board mirrored, as though you're looking through the top. That's what's going on ...

Yes, it's definitely possible. You can buy solenoids pretty much anywhere that stocks electronic parts. Make sure you get one that's cool with the voltage of the keyboard's microcontroller to make your life easier. To wire it, you'd need an extra output on the keyboard's controller, and the ability ...
