The 2 main special features of this hackpad is how the lid is slid in place and then screwed, and how it is on a 10 degree angle. I wanted to make the lid slide-in-place, so the front would be a single uniform piece of 3D printed plastic, which i thought would be more comfortable. The angle is for better ergonomics (and it matches my current keyboard angle). Using a new software (KiCAD) was challenging, as it took a lot to get used to. I’m happy with how everything came out. I’ve attached a ss of a section view of the case. You can see the lip and the chamfer that helps it slide in.

Just about finished the CAD for my hackpad! My idea for it is for the entire lid to be slid in place like a shelf. Heres a picture of the assembly and a section view!
