They do not. It was suggested that ones with flavour containing diacetyl could cause popcorn lung. However, cigarettes contain a lot more diacetyl, and popcorn lung is not one of the many health risks of smoking. There is some anecdotal connection between diacetyl and popcorn lung, but far from a scientific consensus.

Thanks! Sorry, forgot to make sure the links to the model was posted. Now they are.

 

Model designed in FreeCAD and is fully parametric

Have a K3 Pro at work, and I think the K8 Pro feels a lot better, especially with the 3d printed case. Because of the reduced travel I keep bottoming out the keys on the K3 which does not feel like it is good for my hands. Also tried o-rings, but they don't work the same way as on a normal profile keyboard.

The V-series is a lot lower, and if I knew about those from the start I'd most probably just get one of those and skip the bluetooth.

I did not, it is still in its original case. In the new case there is a holder for a cylindrical li-ion battery. Have not dared trying it yet, though, but pretty sure it will work.

It was way more work than I anticipated. Getting the measurements correct for the standoffs, daughterboard, switches etc took a lot of work and test prints to get right. OTOH I got a working prototype ready pretty fast (1-2 days) which basically just had the standoffs and the daughterboard exposed.

You might also consider doing something like this guy did: https://lemmy.world/post/2817315

Designed and 3d printed my own custom case for the K8 Pro, since I thought it was too tall and I didn't want a wrist rest.

Thanks a bunch!

Another question: What did you do with the battery? Just discard it?

[–] funkyfourier@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Pretty darn cool! Some questions:

How did you get the placement of the standoffs correct? What did you use for standoffs? Are those screws covered in o-rings? Are those keycaps the same type as the Keychron low profile series?

Having been working on a custom 3d-printable case for my K8Pro, and one of the biggest challenges has been the exact locations of the standoffs.
