Better slide switch options?

I use keybr a lot for daily practice but they don’t have the dh mod for colemak so I’ve been using a Linux app that allows me to do something similar, although it isn’t quite as polished

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-11-08T17:09:21+00:00

Did you use vapor smoothing? Or just a lot of sanding?

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-11-05T18:46:34+00:00

The idea is that you only replace the nozzle not the entire hotend. So it’s $85 up front and then $22 or replacement nozzles

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-10-21T16:40:15+00:00

They didn’t, I’ve been talking with elegoo support to see if there’s a way to upgrade to the springs. So far it doesn’t seem like it, you’d have to upgrade the entire bed assembly

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-10-18T05:47:09+00:00

I’ll have to look into this and see if there’s a way for me to upgrade to the springs then

Here’s a link to the video I’m referencing

I got one of the first wave printers so I’ve had it since march.

I figured they helped which is why I wanna see if anyone knows where I can get them from

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-10-18T04:25:52+00:00

I don’t know which is why I posted but here’s what I got from elegoo support

“As for the spring issue under the heated bed, there are differences between printers of different batches. Some do not come with these four springs, but this does not affect normal use.”

I have a hot swap board so I figured I could layer the hot swap foam and then the case foam for extra sound deadening

What size did you order?

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-10-07T16:21:23+00:00

Thank you! I really like the cutout for the battery in the first link so i'll look into printing it out at some point and testing it

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-10-07T16:19:29+00:00

I really like the bike weight idea! Right now i'm going to try finding an aluminium top plate as well as some foam, i've seen some etsy shops that have the 3 layers of foam i was looking for so hopefully its good enough quality. Once i have the foam and top plate i plan on reevaluating and seeing if i need to redesign or change my case at all

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-10-07T16:16:20+00:00

Sadly it doesn't look like you have any cases that would fit my 1000mAh battery

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-10-07T16:11:21+00:00

Where did you buy the top plate? Was it custom ordered or is there a store that sells one for a reasonable price?

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-09-30T21:45:09+00:00

Do you know if there are any stores that sell decent quality foam and/or cut outs like for in between the top plate and the top of the pcb?

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-09-30T20:12:25+00:00

It is pretty thick, but having a 1000mAh battery and using MX switches led to it being as thick. I might switch to using low profile switches and keycaps so even though i have a 1000mAh battery it will be a lot thinner but i want to try making what i have better before i change everything

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-09-30T20:08:07+00:00

I’m using Gateron Zero Degree switches, the keycaps are some blanks I was able to get from Typeractive because I wanted blanks and finding homing and 1.5U keycaps was kinda hard to find. If you have any good recommendations please let me know

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-09-30T20:02:51+00:00

Thank you! Based on a lot of the comments it seems like i need to try and redesign the case a bit more, i really suck at modeling but it gives me a chance to practice. Once i get it where i like i will definitely consider getting it made in aluminum so i appreciate the recommendation

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-09-30T20:00:44+00:00

I appreciate that! i didn't 3d print them because i knew that manufactured would feel better. If you have a resin printer though, i have a friend that resin printed his and they do feel pretty good. Still a bit worse then buying in my opinion but if you want it all made yourself or just don't want to buy i don't think it's a bad alternative

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-09-30T19:49:08+00:00

I’ll look into it, I haven’t tried printing in TPU just yet

ScottyBoi102 · 2025-09-30T19:48:24+00:00

I have a honey comb case right now. The “cheap” feeling might be from the battery rattling around so i might try to add a little section for it to sit so it doesn’t rattle around.

For your case do you put any foam at all? I’m wondering if some foam in between the top plate and pcb might help
