Finished modelling the initial base models. It took quite a while to align and correct everything, but the base plate finally fits a whole octave of keys correctly. There were a lot of things I had to consider, like how the keycaps are to be connected to a controller (I opted for the easy option of leaving it up to the user to manually solder) and how other octaves should be connected (I initially added dovetails for extending the keyboard, but I removed them for some reason that I honestly can’t remember; i should probably go back and add them back). Also, I forgot to add this to my previous devlog, but the reason why I opted for DS6 sizing is so that a whole octave is safely printable on my Bambu A1 mini (the base plate is ~160mm wide compared to the A1 having an 180mm build plate). Note that there are supposed to be mechanical keyboard switches separating the keys from the base, but I’ve accounted for them so that they should fit.
