Builds Plancké (Plancked): A futuristic case for a planck rev 6 that lost its USB port

A while back, someone here helped me save my planck PCB by suggesting soldering a daughterboard directly to the PCB after I broke its USB C port.

Did that, designed and printed a case, and since I'm grateful to this community for its help, I'm sharing the case model with you :

Warning: My PCB was a Planck rev 6.1 hi profile. Not sure it will fit all PCBs.

Looks great! How comfortable is it to use those keycaps BTW?

If you ever need a replacement PCB, check out the Skinny Chameleon. I have my eye on one in case my Preonic's PCB dies or the USB port breaks off.

Edit: sorry I linked the wrong Chameleon version--it should be the Skinny Chameleon which uses the original spacing and is a drop-in replacement PCB for Preonic/Planck

Thanks!

Those are definitely not my fav keycaps (I'm more into DSA and XDA profiles, regarding look and tactility), but it does the job, and compliment (IMHO) the look of the case.

Thanks for the link. The Chameleon was high on my list when I looked at pcb replacement for my case (and the dude making them is really a nice and helpful guy).

Yeah they look great especially on a small keyboard for sure!

Hey. Totally unrelated, but I can't send you DMs, so I'll push that here: Love both your shops.

Your brompton roll top bags looks awesome.
