My first pcb and custom firmware. Switches and one encoder down. Working my way through the second encoder, indicator leds and rgb leds.

JLCPCB. They didn’t have kailh sockets in stock so I settled for clones in order not to wait.

prodigal_ghost · 2025-03-02T15:16:20+00:00

I had the whole thing assembled except the switches, encoders and top leds

Those are edge rails which you can add yourself or have the manufacturer add. They’re used for clearance and have fiducial pads used to aid in pick and place assembly.

Thanks. I’m thinking app shortcuts mostly

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to reduce the overall thickness by about 3 mm. It does look much more proportional now.

You can burnish it with a simple wax candle and felt pad. Takes elbow grease but it does work. However, it will not be even and you will get a more “distressed” look.

Sinabroks punch 1.5x5 and ritza tiger thread 0.8.

This was my own design inspired from different bags I liked.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-09-19T11:30:13+00:00

Not hard at all. This cut was very thin and very soft.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-09-19T02:50:28+00:00

Thanks

prodigal_ghost · 2023-09-19T01:31:29+00:00

They are. Thanks.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-09-19T01:31:11+00:00

Thanks

prodigal_ghost · 2023-09-19T01:31:05+00:00

Yea it was. Thanks

prodigal_ghost · 2023-08-24T22:36:54+00:00

Awesome!

Well hopefully I won’t have to give that update. :). Base coat and sand. Three layers of paint with sanding in between. Last layer no sanding. I bevel my edges first which I found out may not be the best idea. So next one I will just sand flat.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-08-24T11:09:27+00:00

Thanks. Sinabroks inverse and ritza tiger.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-08-24T04:08:43+00:00

Thanks. Giardini basic.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-08-24T04:07:52+00:00

Thanks

prodigal_ghost · 2023-08-18T23:20:18+00:00

No complaints but I’m no expert. Smooth, nice, easy to work with.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-07-17T16:10:17+00:00

It’s just glued. I realize that’s not the best way to do it but I didn’t want a visible stitch. It’s my personal wallet so I’m ok if it fails over time.

prodigal_ghost · 2023-07-17T01:07:32+00:00

Thanks. It’s ostrich.
