Sponsorship

Thank you PCBWay for sponsoring my Flower PCB. For all you PCB needs, you can always rely on PCBWay for all your PCB prototypes. Superb PCBA quality PCBs. No issues or scratches. Customer service very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend PCBWay for all your PCB prototype needs.

Detailed Summary

Flower is a heavily modified version of Noraneko42W which has been blessed by darakuneko himself for the mod. Noraneko42 was originally designed by darakuneko.

A List Of Mods Made To The Original SVG by darakuneko:

-Eliminate the extra 6th columns on each sides.

-A square hole was created in the middle that can accomodate either a 34mm or 25mm trackball powered by PMW3360 sensor.

-Base of the trackball holder with lens cut out is integrated into the top case with integrated 5mm switch plate. Top case sits flush with pcb.

-Full keyboard case was created to house the PCB.

-Created 2 versions of the PCB. Version 1 does not have hot swap and solder switches straight to the pcb which is currently been sponsored. Version 2 has hot swappable Kailh and will not be printed or tested in the future so print at your own risk.

-Flower is powered by RP2040 Core - A which you can get from AE.

-QMK code is borrowed from aki27 bally and modified the matrix to fit my Flower. No suppport will be given since I just copy and paste.

-3DP trackball holder is designed by @ma_po_daisuki and his designs are being sold at his Booth store which cost around $10 cad. Go check it out and support him.

-Or you can use my STL 34mm version that is include on the above.

-Use M2 brass hot inserts 3.2mm diameter and 4mm length for the M2 screws to secure the case. I forgot how long is my M2 screws are but they should be greater than 10mm so estimated around 14.6mm. Play around with and buy multiple M2 lenght screws.
