AEK Style 60% Keyboard Case

I wanted to design a case to fit the aesthetic of the original Apple AEK keyboard for my upcoming Alps 64 build.

I plan on binding the two halves with XTC-3d, finishing with some sanding and painting to match the color of the original AEK keyboard. Each half will take around 1 day and 16 hours to print according to CURA.

UPDATE: 5 perimeter walls, 1.6mm thick bottom/top, 35% infill @ 60mm/s with my printer's acceleration settings took about 48 hours per half.

After doing a test print, I notice that the right half has a bit more of a gap between the side of the case and the keycaps when installing the board. I think the USB cutout port could be sized better, wider horizontally to allow you to correctly center your 60% PCB in this case. In my case, I just cut back the USB cutout on one side to allow my PCB to slide to the right side of the case to even out the gaps a bit.

Sharing here if anyone else is interested. I will try to remember to update this post when finished wi
