Trackpoint stem Tex Yoda II dimensions #4

Hey joh,

Could you please provide some dimensions for the Tex Yoda II stem and any other related components you utilized for your build? I'd like to contribute step files for this.

I'm interested in adding your mod to my Corne keyboard, but using a piercing as a substitute doesn't appeal to me.

Thanks in advance!

Sure, below are some pictures with measurements of the stem. The top of the stem is threaded with M1.6(?), where there's an adapter for the TrackPoint cap. For the crkbd mod the one that came with the Tex Yoda II was not tall enough, so I printed a taller one. See sources/TrackpointStemAdapter.scad

Thank you so much, joh! This is exactly what I needed. Much appreciated. Your mod is really cool, and I'm excited to try adapting it for my corne. Thanks again for sharing your work!
