Case is getting there!

I got a lot done today! aka, case is 95% done! I made the top plate, added where the heat-set inserts will go to mount the PCB, added the “carabiner loop” to the top left corner (I changed my mind, it’s now a part of the main case), and have a good idea of how I’m gonna mount the OLED. I also added some small details, like a fillet around the edge of the plate and put my logo on the back. But, what about the other 5%? Just some teeny tiny things like

  1. No screw holes to put it all together
  2. Still haven’t figured out how you’re going to connect to the USB-C port
  3. The mounting solution I came up with for the OLED is SEVERELY flimsy (probably, I’d have to print it tbs) and doesn’t provide a third point of contact.

I have some ideas to fix some of these. I might add more holes to the PCB as pass throughs. USB-C is tough, either it’ll be a “permanent” cable glued in (like its a real keyboard? except crappier) or I’ll figure out an extender. For the OLED, I think some sort of tab that the OLED mount plate could go into might work, but its hard to construct, and still not very supportive.
Overall, project should be almost done! A few more days, maybe less!
