Piantor 36-key case with Tenting & Magnets!

I printed the original case for the beekeeb Piantor keyboard and really loved how low profile and compact it was. I really wanted to add some tenting to the case, but not at the expense of increasing the size of the original case. Additionally I created some magnetic covers for the Pico microcontrollers that I can easily remove if I want to.

You can find a video of this case being put together right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/10mut1c/piantor_36key_keyboard_with_tented_case/

I've included the STL's for the left half. Just mirror each one for the right side. Note that the pico cover is the same for both sides, so no need to mirror that one.

Most of these magnets I had lying around from previous projects, hence why there is a mixture of imperial and metric units here.

• 5mm x 1mm n52 cylinder - 2 of these for each half of the case (4 total). You will need to pause the print and place these in the holes just prior to the layer that covers them (they are approximately under the B and V keys in my photos). I purchased these ones.
• ¼" x ½" n52 cylinder - 2 of these for each half of the tenting legs (4 total). You will need to pause the print and place these in the holes just prior to the layer that covers them. I purchased these ones.
• 2mm x 1mm n48-n52 cylinder - 8 of these for each half of the case (16 total). These are not print in place. Four will go into the 4 holes in the Pi microcontroller (2 on top / 2 on bottom), and four will go into the small cover piece. A little superglue in each hole is all I used. The ones I purchased aren't available anymore, but these ones are an equivalent alternative.

Polarity is super important!! I swapped the polarity for all the magnets on the right side of the case just so the tenting feet only click into place on their correct side.

All STL's are oriented in the way they should be printed. The parts that require supports are the case and plate, and you only need supports on the build plate. I printed everything at 0.2mm resolution in ASA Black Prusament. PLA or PETG should work fine as well though.

Finally, I should note that I created these to work with the tolerances of my printer, my magnets, and keyboard PCB (purchased from beekeeb). Hopefully these work as is for others, but please let me know if any of these need to be adjusted.
