This project is designed to build a working model of the Display Keyboard (DSKY) portion of the Apollo Guidance Computer. The model utilizes 3D printed parts and 2 LCD screens along with a Raspberry Pi and 3 Arduinos. The DSKY will be capable of running the actual AGC assembly code internally using simulator code or connect to a hardware version of the AGC I am building as another project.
The complete project build with all the build logs and parts lists can be found at: https://hackaday.io/project/186074-dsky
This project's 3D case is based on various other builds that can be found at:

https://hackaday.io/project/176363-rebuilding-mechanically-accurate-apollo-dsky
These projects used simple non-backlit keyboard keys. There is another person who made better keys. Here are pictures I worked with:
