ok time to make a better CAD!

im thinking i’ll do a simpler backplate design with a cool frontplate so its basically a sandwich

nvm this is too hard

im switching to exposed PCB style

time to look for inspo

watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82yD0RMeEw8

i came up with the following but it doesn’t seem like enough

OMG IVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A CUTOUT FOR USB AND ITS NOT WORKING AHHHHH

going to redo the PCB layout

making it low profile now

removing encoders; bulky and don’t look good

hotswap also cause why not

nvm no hotswap cause i don’t really need it personally

using only what i need

routed but just realized its not symetrical 😭

ok figuring out how to round corners

figured it out! you just use arcs and move the lines

acon was right; this feels super nice

ok time for routing!

OMG I DID IT WITH 0 VIAS

im going to create a cool render now

first i added back silkscreen art

renders are awesome

there were these random “K”s next to the diodes, so I removed them

need to figure out where mounting holes go

wait i dont need them cause i can just press fit with supports

created dimensions

according to my calculations, i need two rectangles; one that is 252x35 and another that is 147x26. 1mm filets

idk if this will work

added things in middle:

added cutout!

going to render this
