Carrying Case?

Howdy!

I have a keeb.io cepstrum split board that I'd like to travel with when I head into the office. Anybody have good experiences with a carrying case they could recommend? My cepstrum is 8 inches / 20.5 cm by 4.5 inches / 11 cm for reference.

I originally was looking for a hardshell case but stumbled on this while looking. I'm very pleased personally for my lily58. https://www.moderncoup.com/product-category/keyboard-sleeves-carry-cases/split-keyboard-carry-cases/

I just use what is called a "GPS Case" off of Amazon. I got the one branded "MoKo" and cut out the two elastic straps which allows me to put in both my halves of my split- I'm not sure if this will fit yours, but maybe it will give you ideas.

Contemplating printing something, I've got the Scylla which is quite 3D, so would need some foam / material inside I think.

Yeah, I did one for my Dactyl Manuform and just oversized it by a couple millimeters and stuck Amazon bubbly envelopes on the inside. The bottom of each half is flat, the same shape, and rubberized, so the covers just go over the top, I clap the bottoms together (tee hee?), and chunk the whole thing in a lunch bag that barely fits. It stays together without slipping and without any attachment between the two cover halves. Janky but it's worked for years.

Hmm I like the lunch box idea, like zip up. Maybe an insert into that for the bottom and do simular to you. Thanks for the ideas!

Coming Soon – “The Compact style of the case is designed for the Iris CE and the Cepstrum low-profile Choc keyboards”

I 3d-printed a hard box for my Fourier. https://gitlab.com/jaredjennings/fourier-box. (wince, there is no photo nor even an STL in that repository.) I wanted it to fit in my backpack with a laptop and books, so it holds the two halves side by side, not stacked. I had to print it in two pieces and friction-weld them together. That sounds fancy, but it just means you take a piece of filament, put it in a Dremel chuck, and draw on your model. Wherever you push down, the friction makes the end of the filament melt. Then I put on some Sci-Grip 4 (dichloromethane), which further solvent-welded the joint.

If you wanted to make one like this for your cepstrum, you'd need to do it in more pieces because that's larger than a Fourier. Your case would end up to be the size of a laptop. You might not want that.
