Features

• Fully 3D-Printing cases, plates and wrist-rests.
• Reduce number of keys of thumb cluster to 3.
• Wrist-rest hookup mechanisim.
• TRRS/ProMicro are mounted on plate
• Use tapping screw, no Heat-set insert is needed

Generate OpenSCAD and STL models

• Run lein generate or lein auto generate
• This will regenerate the things/*.scad files
• Use OpenSCAD to open a .scad file.
• Make changes to design, .scad files will be regenerated automatically, and OpenSCAD will auto refresh if you used lein auto generate.
• When done, use OpenSCAD to export STL files, remember you need to render it first by press F6

How to build

• Generate STL files or download from Release Page
• Print the right side with these files: right.stl, plate.stl, wrist-rest.stl, and mirror them for the left side
• Wire up switches by following this wonderful guide: https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform . (Just skip those missing keys)
• Use (QMK Configurator)[https://config.qmk.fm/#/handwired/dactyl_manuform/5x6/LAYOUT_5x6] to build your firmware: Hit compile button and wait a sec then click on firmware to download
• Use (QMK Toolbox)[https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox] on Windows or (QMK CLI)[https://github.com/qmk/qmk_cli] on Linux to flash your Pro-Micros (remember to short RST and GND pins to make them flashable)
• Hot glue USB jack onto the board for ProMicro, this is VERY IMPORTANT, I paid 2 pcs for this lesson. Then, Hot glue ProMicro and TRRS onto plate.

How to remix

If you want to change number of rows, you can import plate-reference.stl to your favourite CAD software and make a new plate.

For the wrist-rest, use wrist-rest-reference.stl for cutting if your CAD software unable to convert the right.stl correctly.
