    I soldered a Planck kit, then an Iris v2 kit, then bought a recent Iris with hot swap and all that jazz when the first started acting up and I couldn’t figure out why.

    I want to start actually making stuff - really interested in a Dactyl-like contoured board - and I have most of the stuff I would need for the electronics side of things, maybe upgrade the cheap soldering iron. The one thing holding me back is cases. With kids and a dog, I’m honestly not too interested in leaving bare electronics sitting on my desk. I want a pretty case too, and that mostly means 3D printing. I never had any room for a printer, and online printing costs were pretty prohibitive in my area last I checked.
