67% keyboard

I am building a 60-70% keyboard from scratch using the raspberry pi pico 2WH
I redesigned the case so that I cna connect both sides and because it would not fit in my printer. On the image it basically looks the same. I deleted some of the switches because they made it laggier
Thank you for the revisions, great work!! Approved!
Very nice work! There's only a few things left before we can approve this; please rename the "keyboard" folder to "PCB" to follow the convention in this guide: https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/shipping-hardware and rename the "Case step files" folder to "CAD". The README formatting looks slightly off to me, try to follow this guide as closely as possible: https://stardance.hackclub.com/resources/great_readme
Thanks!
Nice work! There is a slight mismatch between your BOM.csv in the production files folder and in the root of your project, fix that. Please also make sure whether your keyboard is wireless or not and update the README to be addressed to other recreating your project, not just the reviewers! (you can communicate with reviewers by replying to the message in which you were mentioned about your review in #stardance-hardware-feed).
nice work on the project! thanks for addig the .step files! right now you dont have links in your bom so others cant buy the parts! please add these!
nice work on this! you still dont have .step files in your repo! please add these along with a bom.csv so others can make this!
nice work on this project! right now your repo is missing .step files so other wont be able to use your work. please upload these and resubmit!
finished a very basic case for my keyboard:
Unfortunately I realized it too late, and as I was designing the 3d case, I saw that the LED’s were on the wrong side of the pcb. It took like 3 hours to wire those so I decided to just completely get rid of the LED’s, then just re trace everything. It looks like 10x better now:
Finished checking the DRC and adding 3d models to the 3d viewer to export.
I official finished creating all of the traces on the PCB. It looks really messy and its because I didn’t really pay attention to how it looked, instead I just focused on finishing it and just working. there was around 350 traces so it would take way too long if I wanted it to look good.
I have put all of the schematics into kicad PCB, then positioned them into their designated spots. Finally, I assigned 3d models to all of them(except OLED and rotary encoders)
I finished working on the keyboard schematic with 74 keys, 2 rotary encoders, a 0.91 inch oled and led’s.
