    I'm so glad this project is getting more eyes on it! I know Joseph and Jonas are working on refining it, but old friend ~capitalism~ gets in the way of everyone's fun. In our chats I think a lot of the button stiffness comes from the switches being too hard and small. Either fitting in the OEM switches OR somehow getting it to work with membrane and no switches, could help. (So don't worry, the newer revision wouldn't have solved the latter issue :') Although your speaker issue would've been because the V1 actually doesn't take a speaker haha) Excited to see how your ribbon cable works out!

  • @FortyTwoBlades
    @FortyTwoBlades Місяць тому

    Part of the problem with part fit is due to material choices. Typically a 3D print file will have been optimized for a particular machine + filament combo and because different machines and filaments behave differently, you'll get slightly different dimensions in the final parts when it comes to your tolerances. As such, it'd be possible to get it all dialed in for things like the clear resin or aluminum, but it'd be a process of having to test-print, check the fit, and make iterative changes. In other words, an expensive pain in the butt lol
