Enclosure
The keyboard case can be the most expensive and hard to get part of your project.

The easiest would be to reuse the enclosure of an old keyboard, but that means constraining your build around someone else’s design. 

The most common case typologies are: layered, CNC machined, 3D printed.

Layered case
You can build your case in 1.5 to 5mm layers one on top of the other held together by a series of pass-through screws and bolts. This is very popular because the layers are easy to design with vector or CAD software and usually inexpensive to produce. They can be laser cut in acrylic, wood, aluminum or other materials. One of the creations I’m most proud of has an aluminum switch plate, a wooden body and a steel bottom (that acts as ballast). A layered case can go from $30-100 based on the material.
CNC Machined case
The best looking keyboards are probably machined with CNC routers but the cost can be very high. The case has to be designed with 3D software like Blender or Solidworks, so you need to learn those tools. Often you can find ready to use CNC’d case –most likely for 60% layouts– but that would set you off by $50-100 to say the least.


3D printed case
The new kid in town. A keyboard case is a quite big chunk of plastic, so online services that bill per volume (like Shapeways) end up being rather expensive, but 3D printers are more and more common nowadays and chances are that you have access to one. In that case 3D printing is definitely a viable option.

Print size of consumer grade printers is usually barely enough for a small 60% keyboard, though, but with a bit of creativity you should be able to split the enclosure into smaller chunks.
