dactyl-manuform-pcb-plate's Issues

Different positions of switches

Hi @bstiq, first of all I'm huge fan of your work! Not sure if this is an issue but it's the only place that I can reach you, so sorry in advance if this is misplaced.

I have done a dactyl manuform mini based on your personal repo, and it is awesome! I tried to organize a little bit the mess of wires due to handwiring, and I tought that this PCB would be a great way to do it. You say in the description that is compatible with dactyl manuform mini, in fact, if I'm not mistaken the thumb cluster pcb only works with mini. But after printing it and trying to build it, looks like that some of the switch positions are misplaced with the switch holes in the case, the stagger in the pinky and ring columns seems to be greater in the case than in the PCB and the spacing between the columns is different too. I don't have a lot of knowledge in Kicad but is there a way of fixing this? Is there a way of generate a pcb that would work well with my case?

Sorry for asking this here, and thanks in advance for the help!

What vendor have you used to manufacture this PCB?

I'm trying JLCPCB and they are having all sorts of issues understanding the gerber files. I've separated them in to two separate zips, flex_B and flex_F, but I think the fact that one is mirrored is really confusing them. Should I try to use Kicad to "unmirror" those? Thanks.
