Ergo clears baby... ergo clears all the way.

Just took my case, open and check. Sh** should have check at the shop, was in rush to beat sg buloh rush hour traffic


The cut is good, because accordcing to matt3o, the cut tolerance might be different with different machine. Some of his case were a bit loose due to different laser cut vendor.

My complaint, really SC Laser Cut? Should have check on the spot instead of trusting you guys.

Laser burn on acrylic


mmm......



Scratches on aluminium plate, there's more actually.

Overall, its ok, but would have expect a much better finishing. Guess cheap comes at a price. Maybe I'll send it for polish or powder coating or something.

dayum bro.... shit out of luck

You can polish both of it, but it'll take a lot of work for alu.

Ur picture...can upload some high resolution one?

Totally need to do QC after picking in up, maybe you can get it replaced, for things like the laser burn. That would look ugly if not done anything to it, and straight into a case. Condolences my friend.

Here, still limited by my 2 years old phone


=========================================================================


Maybe i'll add more scratch using sandpaper to fix the scratch, brushed aluminium look.
SC going to replace the burned part, but have to wait till monday, for aluminium, I actually have to add the option for polishing. They should have told me that earlier though.

Other than that, the case is really solid, no flex at all, so will work with or without pcb

And if anyone want to give it a go, maybe try with another company. Ng Kah Weng from khoo wang or thye hong technology (he uses gmail, so not sure which of these 2 company) seems to be more friendlier and helpful, called me a few times to ask about my drawing. Though I didnt use his services because its in Kajang, too far

have u tested the mounting compatibility, whether u can put a switch through the plate and still able to mount nicely on the pcb?

I dont have pcb to test since I dont plan on using one, but I think it should still be able to mount nicely because the plate thickness is the standard 1.5mm. Need to add pcb standoff though. Here's the view from side to give you clearer idea

what type of aluminium are these made from?

check my siggy.

SO tempting! Haha.

I'm having trouble removing the switch housing and stem from my Poker II right now. Any tips on how to remove them?
Most of the guides I saw online suggest that I use a pair of tweezers or paper clips to 'hook' into the 4 sockets around the switch but that didn't work for me.

That, I have no idea.

I think you cant with poker 2 stock plate, have to desolder. I dont own real poker 2 so I might be wrong

Cant do that in a plate mounted keyboard

pls stop doing what you are doing and read/ watch a proper guide before continuing. examples here>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HysRQnJiupQ or http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/i-did-a...ches-t2458.html

Thank you for the prompt advice guys. You all just saved my keyboard.

only 6061 and 7075 type aluminium are good for laser-cutting, cnc milling, etc. lower rated aluminium will have problems as yours did. try ask your manufacturer about using these types.

if those are indeed 6061 or 7075, then its hard to imagine how can they messed up cutting your stuff quite badly.

abang nak show something

Mesti lower rated

RM200 not including anodizing, polishing, sanding and so?
and you are unclear of the materials being used?

Yeah, I never knew that there's type of aluminium, and when I called the shop to complain, they told me I didnt ask for polishing. I ask about anodizing before, and they said they dont do it, only spray. Basically Rm142 just for cheap aluminium and cutting.

I dont mind paying more, but at least tell me the option that I have before cutting. meh.

Should have gone with another person, far but at least he explained everything in detailed when he reviewed my CAD.

Had to sand myself to clear up the scratches

Oh well, my loss their loss. Changing to another shop in the future
