Southpaw75 3DP Keyboard Case

I gave my friend a Southpaw75 kit designed by kelvinhall05 from 42keebs as a birthday present a while back and decided to upgrade his kit by designing a case for his keyboard. I wanted to reuse the original plate from the kit because dissembling this keyboard without a hot swap Pro Micro socket is painful. Included a extended 3d printed wrist rest that fits perfectly designed by @ExtraFox.

Designed to fit into the build area of an Ender 3 220mm x 220mm.

Printing

Print the included tolerance tests before hand so you don't waste filament printing and then have to start over. I would recommend calibrating flow before printing this since the dovetails are pretty tight in tolerance. 

• Case Printed with 15% Cubic Infill and Black Hatchbox PLA
• Wrist Rest with 10% Cubic Infill and White Hatchbox PLA

Before printing make sure the orientation of parts is correct, chamfered side is the bottom. I printed the pegs long side on the build plate with a raft since I had bad elephants feet on such a small part.

I had to use mouse ears on the sharp corners of the dovetails since I had some prints lift off the plate for me, but that would depend on your bed adhesion. They can be placed in all sharp corners and the outer edges of the model to be safe.

I would probably glue in the magnets that sandwich the plate, my holes were a bit loose, if building with those magnets. 

Materials

• 44* 4mm x 2mm magnets (32* not including ones sandwiching the plate. I think those are unneeded but I haven't tried that. Had a ton of magnets laying around so the more the merrier.)
• Rubber Feet
• 1 of each case section and 2 pegs
• Glue of some sort (I used super glue)

Assembly

• Dovetails should just press together with a little bit of force with your palm, shouldn't require hammering with a mallet.
• Glue in pegs into top case section
• Press fit 4 x 2 mm magnets into place. MAKE SURE ALL MAGNETS ARE IN THE SAME ORIENTATION, I just pressed all the magnets using one magnet as reference to the bottom case section first and then used those magnets on the bottom section as reference for the top. 
• Press the top plate into the pegs onto the bottom, they should fit into the M2 holes on the plate.

Notes

Pretty sure there should be no problem with Pro Micro, Elite C (used one on my build), or other clone controller compatibility. But tell me if there are any problems. 

Edit

8/13/23 - Someone wanted a battery cutout for their internal battery so I added one, 41mm x 70mm.
