We have prepared a convenient document for storing your decisions and measurements for your custom keyguard.\u00a0 The data form is available as a DOCX<\/a> or PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The form collects the key data that is needed by keyguard.scad to produce your custom keyguard.\u00a0 If you’ll be designing a keyguard for someone else, email them this form and ask them to fill it out as much as they can.\u00a0 \u00a0As you work on the design, you’ll collect other information about the keyguard.<\/p>\n

It’s important to note that almost every design will involve a give-and-take discussion between the person creating the design and the person for whom the keyguard is being created.\u00a0 The second person often doesn’t know what kind of customization is possible.<\/p>\n

All of the collected information is then entered into the Customizer pane and saved as a new Preset.\u00a0 You should also save the Customizer Settings in a separate file (see below) in case you lose your Presets.<\/p>\n

The form has two sections.\u00a0 The first section requests information that should be provided by the person who is closest to the final user of the keyguard.\u00a0 That person will know detailed information about the kind of tablet, kind of case, AAC app, and possibly the best way to attach the keyguard to the tablet or tablet case.<\/p>\n

The second section requests information that should be provided by the person who is 3D-printing the keyguard.\u00a0 That information can be very helpful in deciding what characteristics of the 3D print are important in making the keyguard sturdy and long lasting as well as which characteristics have little impact.<\/p>\n

Some items are highlighted in yellow.\u00a0 You can get measurements for your design by making those measurements directly on the tablet with the app running.\u00a0 Alternatively, you can take a screenshot of the app<\/a> running on the target tablet and use a graphics program like Microsoft Paint to determine these measurements.<\/p>\n

It can be difficult to get key measurements like the height and width of the case opening using a simple ruler.\u00a0 You may want to print an Easy Measurement Tool<\/a>\u00a0and use the tool to more accurately take these measurements.<\/p>\n

We would also recommend including a picture of the app running on the tablet within the case.\u00a0 That will help you determine an appropriate mounting method, whether the screen is centered in the case opening, and whether the case opening is centered in the case.<\/p>\n

Once you’ve entered your data, save the form with a name that will help you remember its content, like “Tommy’s TouchChat 25, iPad 2, Otterbox”.\u00a0 There’s also a box on the first page of the form called “ID” for you to put information like this.<\/p>\n

On the last page, there’s an input box called “Special Instructions”.\u00a0 That’s a good place to put things like the user’s favorite colors or whether you’d like to engrave text on the top or bottom surfaces of the keyguard along with where you’d like them to be engraved.<\/p>\n

When you’ve reached a design that you like, save your Customizer settings as a named Preset<\/a>.\u00a0 You should also go to the Keyguard Basics section and “generate” your “Customizer settings”<\/a>.\u00a0 Copy those settings and save them along with all the other information you’ve collected for your keyguard design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
