This is compatible with plate or pcb mount switches and works with stabilizers. I have 1-2.75U sizes done. I'll probably keep working on this and more sizes later if it seems useful to someone.

To design the keyboard, do the PCB, Plate, and Bottom separately. Tile these pieces up with 19mm spacing. There will be overlap, but that is accounted for. Then group all of the pieces together. I added walls to the bottom and plate pieces so that they press fit snug together.
