So I thought I saw a veneer laptop cover that was somehow associated with the Gowforge, but I can’t find it, so I designed my own. I’m going to look at covering the keys also. I love the way this turned out.
I’ve attached all of my files, in a zip file at the bottom, in case anyone wants to modify it.
Surface Book Cover Outline - is the outline and the cutout for the camera. I purposely left it a hair small on each side, because I like the way it looks.
Surface Book Cover Dots - the cutout to leave a dot pattern in the adhesive. It didn’t hurt the application and I thought it would make it a little easier to remove if I ever want to change it. I also added a strip in the middle of the dot field so you can line up an edge, then seal the center. Then you can peel each side one at a time.
WIth this laptop, there is tons of room between the screen and keys. But I’ve decided not to do the keys because they are backlit and I don’t want to lose that.
I couldn’t commit to one drawing, so I just went blank for now. Since the screen comes off I can always throw it back in the laser and etch something later.
Thanks for this design. I saw it when you originally posted it and made a mental note of it. Finally got around to making one for myself and am really happy with the fit. Side note: this should probably be in the free designs section.
I don’t think they had a free designs section when I posted this. I moved it there now.
Thank you for printing this and sharing. I love the look. Did you do the cuts on the adhesive side too? I thought that might help when trying to remove it in the future.
I didn’t. I wasn’t sure how you got rid of the adhesive without cutting through - were they engraves? In any case, I don’t plan on removing this anytime soon. I figure if it comes down to it, I can probably get it off with a hairdryer and some floss
