## What it is
A parameterized, split-hand, concave, columnar ergonomic keyboard generator written in Clojure, forked from the Dactyl keyboard with a ManuForm-style thumb cluster. It produces OpenSCAD/STL model files for 3D printing custom ergonomic keyboards.

## Use cases
- generate a custom split ergonomic keyboard case for 3d printing
- parametrically adjust keyboard rows columns and tenting angles
- design a dactyl manuform keyboard with custom thumb cluster
- export stl files for a concave columnar keyboard
- create a bottom plate dxf for laser cutting

## When to choose
- you want to 3D print your own split ergonomic keyboard with tunable geometry
- you are comfortable running Clojure/Leiningen and OpenSCAD
- you want a proven fork of the Dactyl with ManuForm thumb keys

## When to avoid
- you want a ready-made keyboard without 3D printing and hand wiring
- you need a GUI CAD tool rather than code-driven parametric generation
- you need active development or recent feature changes
