(The most up to date version of this project will live in my GitHub repo.)

The Intent 

I love the Sidekick Notepad. I love the way that it lays out.

However, I had some issues:

  1. When I have it below my keyboard, my keyboard is too flat sometimes.
  2. I spend a lot of time either reviewing film for the soccer team I coach or on zoom meetings for my day job. That means I spend a lot of time just needing access to the spacebar and arrow keys.
  3. The gap between my keyboard and monitor stand is barely enough for the keyboard and notepad together.

I started playing around with the idea that maybe adding a slope to the keyboard would help with those issues. Not necessarily for long typing sessions (I move the notepad when I'm doing that anyways), but great in a lot of other scenarios. 

Design Goals

  • Be able to print on an Ender 3 v2 or similar printer.
  • Use as little filament as possible.
  • Hold my Keychron K8 stably so it can be used for typing.
  • Simple enough that anyone could just grab the .stl and go to town with it. 

Printing

The support piece that goes under the notepad is only 1mm thick, so you'll want to make sure your tramming (bed leveling) is good and you have a good build plate. 

Outside of that, the whole intent was to make it so anyone could just print it. If you have a "0.20 mm" layer height setting in your slicer, the defaults will be more than sufficient.
