Switch key RGB light hole

[AndyChiu]

Hi, is possible add RGB light hole? now have diodes on the way if have light hole, maybe can add LED RGB strip light easy!

do you mean holes for the LED wires, or just a through hole for the light to go through. Either way it will be tricky because the diode is in the way for the MX socket. I'll think about it, but since this is primarily intended for prototyping it doesn't seem like a critical feature.

Hi, just a through hole for the light to go through, i hope it will be used for a long time. If can added backplane, and add config standoff can pass through the PCB, and allow lock screw with the backplane, just like the sandwich structure, it will be used for a long time.

Hi, i try modify code to add LED cutout

            // Diode cathode cutout
            translate([3*grid,2.4*grid,0])
                cylinder(h=pcb_thickness+1,r=.7,center=true);

            // Diode Channel
            translate([0,2.4*grid,pcb_thickness/2])
                cube([6*grid,1,2],center=true);
            translate([.3*grid-.5,2.4*grid,pcb_thickness/2])
                cube([4*grid,2,3],center=true);

            // Add LED cutout
            translate([0,-4*grid,pcb_thickness/2])
                cube([5,4,10],center=true);

the Diode is more easy to install

Hi, I'm new here, how is the led and the connection at the wire/diode?

[AndyChiu]

Hi, I'm still think about how to connect , but i think use the LED strip is be a easy way

@AndyChiu Hi, do you have the individual stl for the mx switch with the led hole? I seem I can't find it in your fork, and not quite sure about how to generate it. Also, does it fit SK6812-3228? Thank you.

@AndyChiu I think I have figured it out. Please enable issues on your fork :)

hi, i was upload same stl file, and update my .scad, have fun! :)
