Use Cases:Portable Device

Overview

The Micro Journal Rev.3: Nadia keyboard enclosure is fully 3D-printable, and Un Kyu Lee has created a collection of predefined colorway options alongside open STL files so makers can design their own color combinations. The colorways transform the writing keyboard from a functional tool into a personal statement piece.

Available Colorways

  • Olympia — beige body with black accents, inspired by classic typewriters
  • Coffee — warm beige and brown tones for a cozy writing aesthetic
  • Army — dark green body with black accents, rugged and utilitarian
  • Ferrari — bold red and black, a striking contrast
  • Stanley — understated black and grey for a professional look

Custom color combinations are available on request through the Tindie shop, and the open STL files allow anyone with a 3D printer to print in any color filament.

Printing Details

  • Material: PLA recommended
  • Supports: Most prints require support; tree supports yield best results
  • Files: STL files available in the GitHub repository under the micro-journal-rev-3-revamp/STL directory

Video Gallery

Un Kyu Lee has created a YouTube playlist showcasing the various colorway options, giving potential builders a visual reference for each color scheme before committing to a print.

DIY Customization

With the open STL files, community members can:

  • Print in multi-color using an AMS or filament swap
  • Use specialty filaments (wood PLA, silk PLA, marble PLA)
  • Design entirely new enclosure modifications
  • Scale or remix the design for different keyboard configurations
