WIZRAD "wizergo" — Handwired 36-key ErgoMech Keyb

This is my third keyboard design, but the first to be fully split as well as having 3D ergonomics. It was largely inspired by the Kinesis Advantage, Corne, Dactyl/Manuform, and has one encoder per half that I fell in love with on my Lily58.

To go with this build I also modeled a printable knurled knob for EC11 D-shaft encoders that I'm really really happy with. It's not quite as satisfying as a full metal knob but it does the job and is a fraction of the cost. Print upside down at max detail and 100% infill for the best results.

Build timelapse:

For the print I went with 0.16mm layer height to make the flat angled areas look smoother, and used 100% infill so it wouldn't sound too hollow or have any flex to it. Definitely not required for regular functionality but I'm glad I did it.
My first build had normal support everywhere and it was a PITA to remove, but I built a second green one with tree supports touching the buildplate only and it was better in every single way with no downsides. Also, using a 3D pen and using filament to hold in the switches rather than hotglue looks way, way better (at the cost of it being more difficult to replace switches).

Printed on an Ender 3 V2 over about 4 days total.

The print itself is very straightforward, the build is the “hard” part. With regular soft wire and patience it's really not bad, but I went with hard copper wiring and an acrylic bottom which added to the complexity, cost, and build time.
