How to make 1.5u thumb keys 1u? #43

Closed Ingvix closed 3 years ago

Ingvix commented 3 years ago

I've been making some changes for my own build without any previous experience with clojure.

I'd just like to ask how would I succesfully change the 1.5u thumb keys to 1u so that the case also realizes this? I've moved the top keys from thumb-15x-layout to thumb-1x-layout and removed the former altogether from the code. That alone clearly isn't enough and I'm in a point where I now got only the gaps left between the top thumb key holes and the case. I can't seem to figure out how would I go about closing the gaps, so help would be appreciated.

there are two easiest ways:

  1. in thumb-connectors, change thumb-post-xy to web-post-xy. though it will only make the keys have 1u plates.
  2. a bit harder, change the translate [x y z] part in thumb-tr-place and thumb-tl-place, and then follow number 1.

hope it helps.

Thanks for the tips. Just changing thumb-post-xy within thumb-connectors wasn't quite enough as it was left some gaps in the case so I just ended up replacing it everywhere and now it works as I want it.

I'll be closing this as I'm satisfied with this but if someone knows even some better way, I'd be interested to know.
