Last week I sent this purple Qazimodo prototype to my good friend (chellekeebs on Instagram) and she took these amazing photos of it. Love how it looks with Lilac Dreams.

I was very close to not doing a purple case but I’m so glad I did!

Very nice, how do you find the size/layout?

[–] cloffwrangler@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I’m a little biased since I designed this keyboard, but the main layout was inspired by the Vault 35 HHKB which has been my favorite layout for quite a while!

Love it! How did you make the case?

[–] cloffwrangler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I designed it in Fusion, 3d printed several prototypes, and then had a manufacturer CNC these out of aluminum. It was a huge learning experience.

Nice, it really brings the finish to another level
