Description
This is a keyboard cover I designed for my macbook so that I can rest my proper external keyboard on top of it without triggering the keys underneath.
A timelapse of the print can be seen here .
The scad-clj source code for this can be found here.
Printer Brand:
Anycubic
Printer:
All-metal Mega
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
0.15
Infill:
20%
Notes:
I printed this vertically with a 0.4 nozzle.
Printing this way requires supports but helps with the bridging on the exposed struts beneath the letters.
I only have a 0.4 nozzle so I was able to get a "fine" result by printing vertically with a 0.15 layer height.
I used Cura's experimental tree support feature and the supports came out without effort leaving minimal marks.
The speaker holes are not perfect tho, maybe adjusting the support distance would help.
I think PLA is well suited for this, as it's rigid and easy to print.
