I would love to see a dye-sublimation process video! Those blank white caps came out amazing and definitely have an appeal all their own, i've just been interested in making my own keycap set, so i've been interested in the dye-sub process (there's not many super informative YT videos going from the design process to the finished product).

a 3d printed mouse or a 3d printed keyboard switch that works (hint) optical switches as they dont need copper they just need a spring

@@bobbyhutter5654 Hmm, I didn't know much about that, but from what i've seen, it requires a decently high heat for the ink to soak through the plastic, and i'm not quite sure that a 3d printed PLA plastic can withstand that amount of heat since it melts at 60C. But thanks for the suggestion.

Alright, I got to admit, this is one of the most beautiful keyboard making videos I've seen, and definately the best 3D printed keyboard on youtube at this time. I can't express in words how much more recognition you deserve seeing the quality of these videos, Also, you definately nailed the keycaps which was one of the things that most other videos couldn't. Sorry that I ruined your "69 subscribers" moment but now you have 70 :)

Technically you could also print the switches (search for "void_switch"), but that would make hand soldering significantly harder due to the need to either install reed switches correctly (matrix) or a bunch of MUXes with hall sensors (each switch will need it's own wire from)

I love this, I already have a keymove 60% keyboard but was thinking I could use a second keyboard for macros (instead of dumb keypads with like 9 keys) I've been seeing a lot of 3d printed keyboards lately but I like this one because you actually 3d print basically everything, very nice done!

Great video! This is really impressive, liked and subbed! I've been looking for just this as there is very little options for ISO layout keyboards. Could you advise me on how to change the code for the different layout or even make a video on it (I'm sure MANY people will watch that video)? Thanks for the great content!
@dewe1144
@dewe1144 Рік тому
Thanks. The source code is under the github link in the video. you can change the keycode mapping in src/keymap.c with the key definition macros provided in include/keyboard_usb.h. and the position of the FN key in src/main.c. Although you would need to pay attention to the wiring

@Sharpless2
@Sharpless2 3 місяці тому
what i like the most about this is that the keycaps are printed too. This way, if you were to do some dye-sub experiments, you can just print new ones instead of having to buy blank keycaps from goblintech or whatever. How hard would it be to add LED's to this? Single color only.

Nice one, you know, to give the keyboard extra strength, you could print the bottom plate in three parts so that the joining areas of the top and bottom piece aren't both centered.
@dewe1144

Yes. i made the bottom plate to have a 'V' shaped joint for this reason.

You shouldn't need to, since we're not using micropython. The stm32f4 has 3 native ways of programming it, that is dfu, serial, or swd

hello, i jusnt want to know if we really need the 5k Ohms resistos on the board ?? also thanks for doing this video, it's very helpfull !!!! Also is the st-link programmer really neeeded to flash the microcontroller ??
@dewe1144
@dewe1144 Рік тому
Thank for watching!. Glad you liked it. you don't really need that 5k ohm, you can instead use the built in pull up resistor in the stm32, i just didn't trust it enough. if you don't have an stlink could use the dfu mode to flash the stm32 or a serial to ttl converter like an ftdi chip. Haven't tried it though. I used stlink because it is the most reliable way to program it, and it also enables debugging which i needed when developing the driver.

Hey man, amazing video! Inspired by this I'm ready to do mine. But could you make a video on working with the STM32F4? That part is a bit complicated. How do you do this on VSCode? Like I'm worried about how I'd choose the COM ports etc. I've worked a bit with Arduinos but only on the IDE. Also, what if I do not want to use the ST LINK but want to do it via USB to TTL?
@dewe1144
@dewe1144 Рік тому
Thanks for watching! The programming part shouldn't be much of a concern since this project is made with PlatformIO IDE extension on VSCode. It basically converts VSCode into an IDE and handles the unnecessary build stuff behind. All i needed to do was code and press upload similar to the Arduino IDE. You can also change the flashing method to USB to TTL instead of stlink by modifying "upload_protocol" value from "stlink" to "serial" in file platformio.ini in the project directory
@SaketVaibhav
@SaketVaibhav Рік тому
@@dewe1144 Okay cool that makes sense! So I'm gonna go ahead and buy the MC without the ST Link because that's even more pricey then the MC 🤣 I'll buy a USB to TTL and connect the appropriate pins, I guess. Do let me know if there's a mess up in my logic. But otherwise thanks a lot :)

@@SaketVaibhav Ur welcome. Few notes though, the backplate of the keyboard in my 3d model does not fit that well with the keyboard main frame. so i had to use a couple of zipties to hold them together lol. It's still pretty seemless though, so watch out for that or you could design the backplate yourself.

whats the difference between a keyboard like this using a controller VS a keyboard with a standard PCB layout? Do they perform equally especially in gaming?
@dewe1144
@dewe1144 Рік тому
well the standard pcb layout would also need a microcontroller to read the switch matrix and translate it to usb. Now if i assume the standard PCB layout uses the microcontroller similar to an arduino (ATMega series), then yes, this one would be better because i used a faster microcontroller which is capable of a higher poll rate (1000 Hz). I'm not sure though since the firmware i used is built by myself and it's pretty crude
