the latest build, v1.2 with MT3 3277

### Inspiration
# Inspiration
glyph was largely inspired by [drFaustroll's amazing m65](https://mlego.elena.space/m65/) as well as the beautiful [Stucco](https://www.reddit.com/r/CustomKeyboards/comments/10k8k6w/custom_ortho_tkl_done_stucco1510/). glyph uses sealing strips as a mounting method, something I learned from [KotteCE's Batoid](https://github.com/kotte-computer-electronics/batoid). I have to say it's the best mounting method I've discovered so far for these types of DIY, 3D-printed handwire boards, far better than my previous experiments. It's dirt cheap, available at pretty much any hardware store, and the sound profile is relatively pleasant also.

# v1
**Comprehensive v1.2 build guide found [here.](https://github.com/galile0-designs/glyphkbd/blob/main/v1.2/v1.2_build_guide.md)**

**Caution: glyph v1 require quite a girthy 3D-printer, you need at least 350x150mm bed area, and the parts can not be split**
**Caution: glyph v1 require quite a girthy 3D-printer, you need at least 350x150mm bed area, and the parts are not designed to be split**

v1 of glyph are 3d-printed and handwired builds. Since it was so novel to me and I didn't know if I would actually like the layout, it made sense not to dive straight in with a PCB and expensive cnc case, so for v1 I went with a handwired, 3d-printed approach.

# Future
As you may have gleamed from the fact that I call it "v1", there is more coming for this project. Next step planned is to design and manufacture a proper PCB, and maybe some real plates?. This would make my life so much easier when prototyping and assembling these things. I am also upgrading my printer setup to pump these out faster.
