Sooo...Since there are no good keyboard cases out there for apple pencil use, and since I love my Zugu case to much, I desided to DIY one myself.

Basicly I took another great product for the Ipad ,the Logitech KeysToGo, and 3D Cad designed a case for it on my ipad pro using shapr3D. I also designed in magnets that matches with the Zugu case Magnetism .
I Then had it 3D printed.
And boom, I have the perfect keyboard case for artists or anyone who like using the apple pencil.:)

👆This is why I love this setup:) I can put the keyboard to the side when in sketch mode.
1st edition is a bit rough and I haven't gotten the magnets yet (but I did a proof of concept with taped on magnets)Proof of concept

And here it is with magnets embeted in the 3D print
(stopping the print at the correct height, insert the magnets and keep printing)

Clever. Where did you have the 3-D printing done?

Since my work 3D printer was down, I just had a Industrial Designer friend of mine print it for me.
He used a big nosle to save time as he had to print other stuff :) Also it was to big for his printer so he sliced it into 4 parts.
 
Would people be interested in 3d printing this themself? I might share it on thingiverse.
