"fAuxLICE"
An 3D printable Alice-like mechanical keyboard.
Layout
Components
Required components
- 1x Arduino Pro Micro
- 64× switches of your choice
- 108-key keycap set
- 64× diodes
- Wires
- 14× M3×16 countersunk screws
- 2× M3×12 countersunk screws
Optional components
- 4× plate-mounted Costar stabilizers
- 1× M3×8 countersunk screw
- 1× M3×10 countersunk screw
- 1× M3×12 countersunk screw
- 1× M3×16 countersunk screw
- 1× M3×20 countersunk screw
The optional components are for reinforcing the top halves. They're not required.
A proper glue up would be probably enough for the two halves.
Wiring diagram
The keyboard is wired in a 10-row, 7-column configuration.
We have to solder a cable between the left and right columns as shown in the picture.
The way to connect the rows/columns to Pro Micro are defined in keyboard.json:
"rows": ["B5", "B4", "E6", "D7", "C6", "F4", "D4", "D0", "D1", "D2"],
"cols": ["B6", "B2", "B3", "B1", "F7", "F6", "F5"]
Build notes
The accent pieces have an extra 5mm sticking out. You should be able to cut them to the perfect length, and make the transitions between the two seamless. Glue the accent pieces to the bottom halves.
The halves do not lock into each other. I used a combination of glue and diode trimmings melted into the plastic.
Firmware
The firmware included is for the Arduino Pro Micro board.
You can just flash fauxlice_vial.hex with QMK-Toolbox or QMK-CLI.
If you want to change something, download the vial code, create a folder in vial-qmk/keyboards/ called fauxlice, copy what is in firmware into that folder, and modify what you need.
Finally, while in vial-qmk run make fauxlice:vial and flash the .hex file.
