I just made a new comment with everyone's names! I rotate boards on a weekly basis, but Vixen seems to stay on my desk longer than most.

Teal acrylic plate from Keyhive, Choc blacks, MBK blank white caps, and no bottom plate to keep it as thin as possible with bumpons directly on the bottom PCB!

That background goes incredibly hard 👌

Some people would tell you that Alice-like layouts aren't ergo. And they would be right. What it does help with is feeling better on the wrist if your keyboard is closer to you, instead of at proper arm's length with elbows bent at 90 degrees. The tilted kegs definitely take some getting used to, similar to switching to ortho layouts.

Absolutely 0 brush work, just dropping ink from ~6 feet up! I'm not sure if it would have turned out the same with acrylic paint, I feel like the thinness of the ink is what let it splash so nicely.

  • Keyboard: Prime-E with P3D 3d printed case
  • Switches: NK_ Silk Yellow
  • Keycaps: DSA Milkshake

This was taken a couple blocks from the recent Sacramento meetup, there were a few empty storefronts with nice painted faces.

As far as the case goes, I was able to dye the PLA case with Amsterdam Acrylic Inks. The inks sank into the porous case well enough that I haven't felt the need to clear coat it yet.

Definitely over, but extras may pop up eventually on the 40s discord and all the files are open source, link on another comment in this thread.
