Would you think of words that you don't know, ending with "phile" as something sexual (or negative)?

Just finished up this one. No-stabilizers, handwired custom 98% layout. 3D printed case and feet, plate laser cut from 3.2mm Masonite, blank XDA laser dye-subbed in a Josefin Sans Medium font. Not
Finished my DIY keyboard with printed case, feet, and RPi Pico "caddy". Keycaps are not 3d printed, but the labels were DIY from my laser.
Finished the DIY build. Handwired, NO STABS, 3D printed case and feet, lasercut plates, Box Jades, and (kinda "meh") laser dye-sub XDA keycaps.
Stabilizers? Where we're going, we don't need stabilizers. (in progress build)
Finished the 3D printed case for the keyboard layout I cut on my laser (project still in progress).

A weirdo tries some major CAD suites, but also a bunch of half-baked bizarre free CAD program out there...
Trying out this Mastodon/Microblog thing. Had a customized TKL keyboard plate laser cut, 3D printed and painted a case, hand wired the switches, and added keycaps. [Geekhack link](https://geekhack.org
Used up the last of 3 Retro-inflected aluminum plates I had made. This one has a 3D printed case.
Handwired family reunion. It's like the tech-geek version of being an old man tying fishing flies in the basement.
Designed and printed a case for the aluminum keyboard plate I had made a while back.

I am in the US, so Xometry was pretty economical for my needs. I had three top and three bottom plates cut from 1.5mm 5052 aluminum for $67 total, tax and (free) shipping included. I added in a laser kerf on the swillkb plate generator that probably wasn't needed, as the switches are in there VERY snug. If you were doing a plate for hand-wiring, that's not a bad thing, actually. If you need one to mate with a PCB, I'd consider leaving it off, but it could have been the specific shop or really anything. There is a bit of luck involved in this process, which is basically a crude form of prototyping.
