PLEASE include your Github and Discord aliases in the fields above, so that we can manually add you to the appropriate Github parts repo and special Discord channels (we do this weekly). Then you can start printing whenever you like!
The ultimate DIY keyboard project for advanced builders. Forget the Dactyl iterations of case shapes to fit your fingers -- Svalboard is infinitely adjustable and fits any adult hand. Customize key forces, colors, shapes, etc with STEP files for all parts.
No soldering required. Only 3D printing, heat set inserts, CA glue and general assembly skills are needed.
Tower brackets are now all BLACK stainless.
Pointing devices and spare magnets are now options on this listing -- please choose what you want included with your build.
Due to the variety of user preferences, Trackball PCBAs don't include ball or static bearings -- add separately or source your own.
See build guide for recommended options available on Amazon.
Build guide is always under development with collaboration from core contributors on the very lively Svalboard Discord

You'll need:
- Mandatory:
- A Prusa MK3S or better printer with a 0.4mm nozzle
- Other recommended printers: Bambu P1 and X1C series do *beautifully*
- Medium CA Glue
- Fine glue applicator tips
- A heat set insert tool or soldering iron (just for heat set inserts, there's no soldering!)
- Adjustable parallel pliers (we recommend Knipex Plierswrench 180mm for best results and versatility)
- A small flat blade screwdriver, roughly 4mm wide x 1mm thick
- 3D printing experience. This is an advanced build, and depending on your choice of filaments and the state of your printer, you may have to get into some moderately deep slicer configuration to get working parts
- Recommended:
- Diamond files for part cleanup
- #2 X-acto knife (we recommend the Kiwi, but anything will do)
Kit contents:
- 12 PCBAs (8 finger, 2 thumb, 2 MCU)
- Fasteners
- FFC Cables
- Heatset inserts
- Rubber feet
- Plenty of magnets (about 2x total needed -- enough to make a few fixtures and some mistakes)
- STEP files for all components and example 3MFs for printing setup
- 2.5mm hex wrench
- T6 Torx bit
- Custom magnetic USB-C split and C+A host cables.
Optional:
- Pointing device PCBAs
- Extra magnets

Pretty happy with how my svalboard came out with the self print kit and I'm enjoying using it. Be ready for some experimenting and trouble shooting. There are a lot of moving parts with high tight tolerances so take care when printing and assembling.
There was great communication, and I got the replacement part way faster than I expected!
Absolute joy, and an incredibly smooth experience. One heads up tho, UPSs Serbian shipping partner is an absolute nightmare to work with, they mark the package delivered the moment it reaches customs, and then starts the back and forth regarding documentation... Where they proceed to ask you why the package doesn't contain a beer when the order clearly contains an item labeled "buy the builder a beer", so, fun time... Would recommend giving a heads up if someone in these parts orders a kit.
Oh lordy, of all the things I thought would hold up in Serbian customs, that one is a surprise ♂ Glad it made it through!
Shipped exactly as ordered, very quick shipment, taxes and duties already included, no hassle with customs. Payment provider even offered local payment options during check-out.
Svalboard team was able to accommodate to ship the board sooner while I was in the US - which is above and beyond my experience from other companies in the industry.
Disclaimer- I haven’t been able assemble the board as I’m waiting on a 3d printer yet. That said the documentation and build videos all gives me great confidence I can get it done.
