whw day 10
at last, the keyboard is finally done (sort of)
it was intended to be a top mount, but i cant screw anything because the threads aren't aligned and i didn't model it properly
i'll probably get a proper case 3d printed eventually, but for now, this will make do
overall, the whole project was pretty fun, except for spending 8 days desoldering a single keyboard
as a bonus since its the last day, here's a (mediocre) typing test
whw day 9
lubed all the switches, all thats left is soldering
the stabilizers are kinda overlubed, but im too lazy to fix it
whw day 8
i finally got (almost) all of the switches out
ignore the three remaining switches, those are a lost cause
the new desoldering pump was a life saver
whw day 7
i desoldered all of the switch pins, now all i need is to desolder the leds
i'm also getting a new desoldering pump today, which is nice
day 6 of whw
taking a break from desoldering today
flashed my pcb and it seems to work
day 5 of whw
fortunately, i will have time to work on this in the coming days, and i also managed to get a switch out today
i also desoldered a few more switch joints, but leds are still a nuisance
whw day 4
unfortunately i wont be able to desolder today (and the next two days) , but at least i bought some things that can help me clean my soldering iron tips
whw day 3
i take back what i said about desoldering leds consistently, i couldnt take even one out today
if anyone has tips on cleaning a soldering iron tip (pun intended), id appreciate it
other than that, i desoldered a few joints, not much but its progress
day 2 of whw
i think i figured out how to consistently desolder the leds, and now i desoldered nearly an entire row
still a bit tedious, but it's much better than yesterday
day 1 of whw
scuffed soldering setup? check
absolutely no experience? check
yep, its desoldering time
