From the project

An affordable split 36 keys keyboard

The v2-cheapino-left.stl and v2-cheapino-right.stl can be used for version 2 of the Cheapino. It should be used if you installed hotswap sockets, since you need it to hold switches in place (they are not soldered then...)

Takes 1-2 hours pers plate to print, depending on settings. There are holes for screws, but they are a bit narrow, so use a nail or similar, size depending on your screws, heat it and push it slowly down to expand the screwhole. The PCB mounting holes are M4 sized, but you probably shouldnt use the entire width.
