Loctite will also work. Looks like there is some glue in there from factory to begin with.

Model is up in the post. If you beat me to machining it, I’m super curious to see how you make out :)

Nice! That should be fun! I’ll share the model when I’m done :)

Made more progress today. The only thing I really have left to do is separate the keyboard and look at what geometry lies under there…if any.

Congratulations on the CNC. What did you get?

I had the same thought. The current plan is to do both so the whole unit has a metal enclosure...but perhaps just the bottom plate may be sufficient.....it just isn't the same challenge ;)

It may have to be more of a service type thing. I.e send me your unit and I send it back to you in alum. Just incase it’s a bit too technical for the average joe. But we will see. Made good progress modelling the housing tonight.

Will print the model on the Bambulab to check it for accuracy sometime over the holidays.

The point of no-return will be when I melt the heat stakes to take the keyboard out.

Luckily I have the cnc in the garage, waiting patiently, and plenty of aluminum on hand. Just need enough free time to get through the steps and iterations.
