COUNTDOWN TO ORDER AND PAYMENT DATE

What we are getting
Geekhack is reaching it's 6th anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than with some custom limited run merchandise.

This group buy is for custom engraved Cherry MX keychain. Blue switch only, however switch top will be removable and then you can mod the switch, bottom would be glued. This will not come with a keycap. Switch will be stickered orange.

The Design
The keychain will be made from three layers of acrylic, of thickness 3mm each.

Color scheme and design will look like this:

Black lines are cut, blue is engraved and green is a crevice.
I am leaning towards the GH font for text.
Bottom stuck with removable switch top.
Cherry MX Blue switches.
Will come in a cheap plastic box with snake chain(http://i.imgur.com/fY5giRR.jpg), 3.5mm clear dustplug (http://i.imgur.com/pp7aIwK.jpg), and small blue phone lanyard(http://i.imgur.com/PFTjIga.jpg).

Your username or text of choice\image will be engraved on the front, and "6" on the back. Each member will only be allowed to buy one.

Pricing
Price would be $250 for 100, with $3 shipping, and optional $1 to GH funds and another optional $1 to me for the time and work. What it means, is it will cost $250 for production of 100 units, thus if we get 50 orders it would be $5 each, and the remaining 50 will got to the geekhack store, obviously they won't be personalized but will have the limited run color combination and the 6 at the back.

If total order goes beyond 100 Keychains, price would be fixed at $2.50 for one Keychain.

Lowest price unlocked, so we are at $2.50 per keychain! Yay!

Order Status
You can check your order status here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0ApXIrLtiUwFVdGUzUVo5QWUxRWUyLW1HSlM5WnM4THc&output=html
The file is manually updated so it may take some time for me to manually add the new orders.
Text will be etched centered and if it is in two lines in the order status, then that is how it will be etched, if one line then in one line.
Font used will be the GH Font which is Special Elite, you can see how your text will look here: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/special-elite

Those who have submitted the form, please edit your response, or PM me, with the phone number and country where keychain has to be shipped, I have added these additional fields to the form as many were missing these information.

Sorry for the trouble, I reiterate I am a noob at Google Docs.

Thanks.

For welding I will be using chloroform, and for joining the switch bottom, I have tried cyanoacrylate glue, and a drop on each side of the switch works well enough. I will however also try chloroform and see how that works.

I've used chloroform before for acrylic welding, don't worry, I won't faint as I risk sticking an 18 gauge needle with chloroform into my eye

I don't have a prototype with me at the moment. I did post a small sample in the IC thread: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46815.msg1000681#msg1000681

This is an unfinished product, and just to test the cut.

keymaster · « **Reply #49 on:** Tue, 20 August 2013, 09:04:56 »

What's the current order count? I think it may be difficult to reach a MOQ of 50 if members are only allowed to purchase one keychain. Personally, I only need one, but others may want to have more.

Either way, I placed my order.
