Svalboard Lightly Self-Print Kit - shipping Late July 2024

This is a preorder - fully refundable prior to shipment.

PLEASE include your Discord and Github aliases in the order instructions (go to shopping cart to find this field), so that we can add you to the appropriate channels and parts repo immediately -- so you can get 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 printing, heat set inserts, CA glue and general assembly skills.

Pointing devices and spare magnets are now options on this listing -- please choose what you want included with your build.

Build guide is under development with collaboration from core contributors on the very lively Svalboard Discord!

Kit contents pictured approximately here, +/- a few little things still in process.

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
