Description
This project is a 60% mechanical keyboard housing inspired by the iconic design of Singa Kohaku. While the original Kohaku uses a 65% layout, I have completely redesigned this from scratch to fit a 60% PCB. I wanted to bring the signature weight and aesthetic points of the Kohaku to the 60% form factor, allowing users to personalize it with their own illustrations. I am sharing the STP (Step) files so that the community can create their own unique versions. Since the housing and the weight are designed as separate parts, you can easily import them into CAD software like Autodesk Inventor or Fusion 360 to add your own custom illustrations, logos, or engravings (emboss/deboss). What You’ll Need: Magnets: 30 pieces of Ø4mm x 1.5mm (Thickness) PCB: Standard 60% PCB (This case was designed using the FM60 PCB 3D model as a reference, and has been successfully tested with a GH60-compatible PCB.) Components: Switches and Stabilizers Manufacturing Info: The finished build shown in the photos was manufactured using PCBWay’s fabrication services. If you are looking for a reliable partner to bring this CAD model to life, I highly recommend PCBWay. The precision was excellent, and the overall finish was outstanding. ⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE (PLEASE READ): Magnet Fitment: The magnet holes are designed with a diameter of 4.3mm for clearance. You may need to use super glue (cyanoacrylate) for secure attachment. Please pay close attention to the polarity of the magnets during assembly. FDM Printing: This model has NOT been tested with FDM (filament) printing. Tolerances: This is not a heavily prototyped model. Due to potential resin shrinkage or printing variances, assembly might be difficult depending on your printer’s calibration. Print at your own risk. Special thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring the manufacturing of this prototype.
AI Analysis: This object is a mechanical keyboard case designed for a Cherry MX keyboard, featuring a sleek, rectangular design with a metallic finish. It serves as a protective cover for the keyboard, providing a secure and stylish enclosure. The case includes a keycap with a decorative element, likely for aesthetic appeal and to match the keyboard's style.
