I have so many questions, as I want to design a very similar keyboard myself.

What keyboard have you been using until you've decided that this is the most comfortable angle? I've noticed that you are not using any wrist rests. Are you already used to not having them? What have you used to create / amend the design? I'm trying to code with openSCAD but figuring out all the math to connect components together takes too much energy.

Have you tried less columns? I had redox and I found myself not using many of the keys so then I tried minidox (36 keys) and I enjoy it but I could find use for few more keys.

I've been using ergodox -> dactyls -> redox -> redox manuform and decided that this layout is the sweet spot for me. I'm not familiar with openSCAD so I used solidworks and it's completely manually modeled. As for less columns or rows they don't really work for me since I'm from East Asia and need to switch between languages inputs so 70 keys is the minimum for me. For example num rows are required to type Traditional Chinese and it'll be hell for me if I have to switch between layers for numbers.
