Spent way too much restoring old chonkers, getting them reanodized, refinished, rebuilt, repairing and sometimes frankensteining PCBs…

and the build I use the most is a flat 3D printed base with a recycled plate and dirt cheap keycaps.

At this point, those “endgame” builds are just chasing the dragon when it comes to the amount of copium involved. In the end, is it something you want to use or just claim you have (clout) or look at and take pictures of? (form over function)
