Sharing an edited version of GEIST's Klor Konrad keyboard case for my personal Klor choc build with keywell adapters. 

Keywell adapters by github.com/Rookwork/Voyager-keywell-adapters

Choc pcb version of the Klor made by github.com/sadekbaroudi/KLOR, but this edited case will likely fit GEIST's original mx pcb too since the pcb footprint/size of the choc switch version and mx switch version are the same iirc. 

Reason for editing: 

I didn't like how the original case design required the mcu's to be mounted below the pcb, which will have its pins exposed underneath the case. 

So I slightly edited the case file to accommodate a top-mounted mcu instead of a bottom mounted one + a few other changes. 

List of changes: 

  • height of walls on the back-half of the case are taller by ~7mm 
    • these are the walls adjacent to the top-left and top-right acylic covers
  • height of walls on the front of the case were slightly lowered by ~1-2mm. 
    • I did this to keep the low-profile look for my Klor choc build. 
    • since its height is lower, you'll likely not need to put the third acrylic cover that's placed there. I didn't in my build (see pic)
  • fully covered up the bottom surface where the exposed mcu area was. 
  • moved up the placement of the type-c port hole a bit
  • removed the holes for the reset buttons (didn't need it in my build)
  • carved some 1mm thick imprints on the underside for adding bumper feet

Note - this case has some imperfections that you'll likely need editing: 

  1. You likely still need to play around and edit the case wall heights though depending on the type of Klor pcb and switches you use. E.g. The choc pcb version - choc switches sit much lower and if you use it without the keywell adapters like I did, then you'll definitely need to lower the wall heights (see last pic for a visual) 
  2. Depending on how you place your microcontroller on top of the pcb (components side facing up or down) you also might need to edit the placement of the rectangle usb-type c port hole, since the last time I printed this it was off-center by a few mm so I had to cut the hole larger with a hobby knife. 

Or just enlarge the rectangle hole by a few mm before printing to be safe.  

***as for the klor switchplate, it's almost the same as the original file by GEIST, but I cut off some of the areas near the mcu/oled/encoder sections for the plate to sit fully flush with the choc pcb.  Plate thickness is the same at 1.5mm iirc.

I also had to experiment a bit with the length and size of m2 screws and standoffs used since the switch plate is now flush to the pcb.
