# About

The contents of this repo are the building blocks for 3D printing a 'frame' for 

a homemade mechanical keyboard.  This frame will be sandwiched between two 

stainless steel plates that are connected via metal motherboard standoffs and

attached to the plates via 'rafts' that consist of a single screw hole each.

Given a limited printing bed area, the frame will consist of four components - 

a left and right U-shaped end piece that encompasses the corners of the 

keyboard and two intermediary walls that will be placed between the two end

pieces.

The intent of this repo is to store & document the steps necessary for the 

creation of said components.

# Modifying the Design

All source materials were designed using [OpenSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/). 

Opening any of the `.scad` files in this repo can be altered with OpenSCAD.

Once modifications are complete, OpenSCAD should be used to render and export

the updated model as an `.STL` file

# Slicing and Print Settings
