Provide Case STL files #5

Closed heynest closed 5 months ago

User Story

As a re-creator I want to download STL files for the case So that I do not need to by a Fusion license (which costs at least 96 €)

Currently, I cannot "just" print the case but I need to get fusion first (as far as I see).

Hello @heynest

Thank you for the interest

I don't have my laptop with me, but you can use Fusion for free https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/personal

BTW, I'm planning a new iteration of the keyboard this summer with a few flaws fixed (but it will be a bit thicker)

Thanks for your quick reaction and the hint for autodesk!

Well, actually, I do not want to rebuild it as you may think. I like the idea of having a foldable and expandablre base to which I can mount my ZSA Voyager (magnetically) when I need to go to a meeting room... I wanted to have the STL files to understand how you built the mechanism...

Thanks for sharing.

It's a simple hinge with a thin steel wire inside:
