3D printers are down. Needed more tenting out of my Dactyl. Solution: Plastic M3 standoff kit.

May not be pretty, but it's working really well. Bottom to top: plastic screw, nut to tension it against the plate, standoff into the brass heatset inserts.

Interesting idea! Though it looks like the ones on the right hand side are struggling a little. Question, how to you like that particular thumb cluster?

I may need to rethread the right side. Not surprised by the flex though, was kind of planning on it with the rotation and tilt.

I tried the original dactyl manuform and then found this one (Carbonfette). It's a huge improvement for me. Splay on my hand is narrower and more comfortable.

Hey, nice design! Do you use something to support your wrists or are your arms hovering above your table?

I hover hand. Tried rests with the Ergodox a while back and it just felt constraining more than supportive.
