Improve stabilizer design #19

Closed dfnr2 closed 4 years ago

dfnr2 commented 4 years ago

  1. To reduce spacebar wobble, create slots under each stabilizer post, for the post to extend from the mount through the keyboard PCB

  2. Modify stabilizer post design to optimize hole size to minimize the amount of travel before the rod ends engage.

  3. Add holes at two heights, for cherry and Futaba keys.

  4. For hobby builds, provide posts on the futaba and cherry aligners. But for mass production, find a rigid 1.5mm material suitable for laser cutting, or create a jig to easily sand the posts to the right thickness.

Done. Only needed for futaba. Extend posts through PCB.
