UHK Exreme tenting elevation feet, 3D Printed
by piro
Since I'm very happy user of UHK - Ultimate Hacking Keyboard - a ridiculously priced, but worth every dollar, split ergonomic 60% keyboard, I couldnt be myself if I didn't had to mod it a little. While I still have a custom-modules interface project in my drawer that I might get back at some point (I only started it because I was pissed ad UHK for delaying modules while announcing UHK v2), I've decided to take the customisable elevation (called tenting for split keyboards) to next level.
After few measurements, a crude 3d model was made and sliced:
And it printed fairly well:
For best results, I strongly suggest printing with elastic/rubber filament, otherwise you might need to scale them by 1-2% in all axes to make them fit, but not fell off.
Here is comparison of various elevation levels (Im using the highest one, as its most easy for my wrists):
Green ones were test prints with SLA, as I was curious by mechanical properties of it, black ones are FDM printed.
Works well, nothing more to write about. You can find STL for these in my github soon.

Added furniture anti-scratch foam under the feet, it prevents sliding and gives much softer feedback when moving kb parts around:
