I wanted a mechanical keyboard for a "new" commodore 64 I'm building. I came across the DYI MechBoard64 project. I don't have access to a laser cutter or tools to create keyboard bracket, so I decided to try creating my own bracket with a 3d printer using the PCB and instructions from the DY MechBoard64 project. Thanks MrnBuffalo for releasing the design.
Not sure that this is a final version, but it seems like it might be good enough.
Additionally you may want to create keyboard connector, I created one:

I still need to decide what I want to use to connect the keys to the keyboard switches. May design my own.
I did end up using a straight pin connector on the PCB instead of angled, the fit is a little tight in a breadbox but not too bad.
The stabilizers for spacebar and enter need to be glued into the frame. Thought about printing them as part of the design, but changed my mind. :)
I've only tried this on a breadbox, I'm
