This IC is not for cases, as I know there are plenty of you who want to get some acrylic cases for 60%/TKL/Leeku-1800/ErgoDox/etc, I get almost one PM per day asking when I will sell them.
As some of you know, I don't actually own or have direct access to a laser cutter, but laser cutting is very cheap in India, yes the acrylic might not be the best (Sometimes the acrylic warps a little when cutting, or you'll get a wavy pattern on the acrylic, slight tolerance issue), however these are pretty common for even more expensive service, and the defectives can be replaced.
Anywho, the point of this thread is, I'm expecting myself to be quite busy in the coming months and moving out from here until next next year, and would like to dedicate my time more to studies and my "keyboard-time" on designing stuff sitting behind a PC, rather than making trips to the acrylic cutter and post-office. However I would like to atleast once openly provide the service for a limited time via a case GB with some configurable options (Layouts, colors), however I most likely won't be able to sort and ship the stuff, it is a time-sinking task, thus I am looking for assistance, someone I can bulk ship all the acrylic stuff, and they can sort the orders and ship them out.
In doing this, I will not charge the GB fee I intended to earlier as I am not putting in the time either, however since I know many people were looking forward to this, I would hate to disappoint them by not doing this GB. Most buyers are generally CONUS, so there should be negligible price increase as bulk shipping is cheaper, this however is subject to the distributor's fee.
I would also like a EU/Asia distributor as a backup if there are many orders for this region, they can handle it, otherwise, I will do it.
Points to be noted:
-- I will ship all the cut acrylic, bolts, nuts, washers, allen-keys in bulk to the distributor as they can be got cheap here.
-- I will get the brass standoffs I use in my cases and clear silicon feet shipped directly to the distributor as they have to be bought online from China/US.
-- Distributor will get shipping information and case options for all the participants, they will then have to sort the layers for each buyer, repack and ship them.
-- The hardware (Bolts, nuts, feet, etc) will be a universal-one-fits-all set, so it is easy to sort and don't have to make different sets for different kits.
-- It would be beneficial for the GB if the CONUS distributor can collect the money as well (Atleast shipping) as it would save on multiple forex charges.
-- Distributor will decide their fee, I will be doing this non-profit.
-- Once all of the orders reach their buyers, there will a "fix" distribution, for any defective layers.
