Hi,
I created a 3D-printable model of the keyboard feet used in the non-ADB NeXT keyboards (I don't know about the other models).
I modeled this after my originals and they are a pretty good match, especially if printed in flexible TPU in black (although this could be fun to experiment with some highly contrasting bright colors!). The original ones are rubber so they have quite a bit of more grip into the desk surface.
Hoping this would be of use for some, here's the file: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5874833 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5874833)

Excellent! If you want to take a request, it sure would be nice to have an adjustable version. I find the next original pitch uncomfortable.

Thanks! I am not sure what would be an easy design for a proper adjustable feet, but I could make some alternate versions of this with scaling the half-circle-part higher or lower for different heights. Which way you'd like to have it adjusted?

I have a box of the original rubber feet I've been meaning to part with... probably have 100 of them.

Yes. I have a lot of the original feet that need a new home.

I see it is from 2024 . If you would be able to DM me I'm interested in seeing what all you may have . I know we are searching for original NeXT schematics to port NITRO's new 40 /50Mhz accelerator to the earlier motherboards. 13 Years has gone by since the big purchase and I'm still finding cool stuff from you. Look forward to hearing from you.best Regards Rob Blessin
