I was doing some research on the IBM M since I'm wanting a custom hard-side carrying case for mine. I have about 20+ Ms, but I take one with me everywhere and after having some near accidents, I don't want to have to worry anymore. Anyways, I ran across the M simulator, which is quite fun when you ...

Update :

I asked someone else to design the adapters ( by trading time/use on my 3D printer ). The designer already has the Model M part finished.

Actually : that might be a good filter for initiatives like this : To NOT PM the next one in the list, but to ask for the next address in this thread. If the next one is not following this thread, the interest in this item is low anyway. Next round I'll implement this.... :-) EDIT : Subscribing to t...

Thanx.... That would be my job, but I'm a little pre-occupied by the Dutch Design Week this week....

prdlm2009 has generously offered to volunteer as a sinklist manager.
Any communication on the follow-up of this item can be done through him.

You are in....

Great!

@Halvar : please send me and Acanthophis your address to get this baby rolling ( yet again )

Can't believe this..... Really.....

I wrote phetto an email....

Indeed! I'm quite impressed by what's turned up in the surprise bag with 002's Realforce. It's great to just try this stuff. Can I late register for this? I'll be happy to join at the end of the list if you'll have me, of course. Hopefully at least one of those MXLOCKs is left by then! What's your ...

Yes, I second that! I'm very very curious to know what kind of gifts the people before you put in.....

Hit and run memberships....

No answer again... Moving to phetto.

Going full circle back to Freecad now. Absolutely love the possibility to constrain your designs.

What does constrain mean? You can set the length or angle of an edge to be a specific value, it will then never change whatever you do to the design.

Edit: that does not actually work. But I made a cylinder and put it where I wanted the hole and than right clicked the surface and chose the "intersect with model" option this gets me edges on the right paces so that I can remove the necessary surfaces. Yes, that's how I finally ended up trying it....

No.... Make a hole from one of the sides....

Try push/pulling a hole in a pyramid. You will end up with a mess on the other side because of the different face angle.... Can't seem to find a solution for this....

Argh.....

It seems sketchup is not really suited for delicate non-90 degrees work.... If you just have simple designs it's perfect, but go anywhere complicated and you are in for some nasty surprises.... ( Try and cut a hole on an angular non-90 degree surface ..... )

Oops! But rapid prototyping is definitely the way to go. Are you happy with the way your MX mount attaches to the switch? I see them with little chamfers which seem to vary between different caps, but can't see the exact shape of yours. Are they difficult to pull off? The MX mounts are still under ...

Intermediate results.

The fact that I have a 3D printer to approach this in an agile way so I can iron out the errors immediately is of course excellent!
Alignment wrong...
Need nub cut-outs....

Having problems with selecting the best tool..... Tinkercad too limited 123D design keeps crashing on me Freecad not intuitive enough, but it features constraints : very handy.... Blender not really setup for design work like this Viacad2D3D looks promising Sketchup looks promising This was done usi...

No answer from eon. Moving on to Macharius

Are you going to send it back to the USA? Because I can hold it for you until somebody new shows some interest. I cannot believe that nobody else has shown interest.

Ascaii should have a list of people interested..... I'll ping him....

You can send it back to me. Let's re-start this one.....

Yeah, somehow this one got caught up in the entanglements of life...

I currently have my eye on this one: http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produkte_rootserver/ex40ssd Any comments? It seems like a really good deal for what you get. SSD + really good bandwidth + 32GB RAM (WTF). I might equip it with FreeBSD as I have always done until now, or maybe I'll be more lazy ...

I host my domain-names at leaseweb. Very cheap, but support could be a problem. My main web server and two minecraft servers is at fxw.nl : I can certainly vouch for the quality of their problem solving department : just excellent, nice easy going people even taking the time to explain stuff to a se...

Box moving from Acanthophis to Eon once I get his address....

Acanthophis : please update this thread with a picture of what you took out?

This looks like it's supposed to be an adapter for Model M keycaps on Cherry MX switches, although I would expect the stem to be much shorter for that, and slanted for most rows. I stll have no idea what kind of cap "Screen Shot 2013-08-10 at 1.57.33 PM" is meant for, or any of the other recent scr...
