[GB] Antique Marble Wrist Rest x GMK Civilizations (98% Shipped)
« on: Wed, 10 February 2021, 10:41:30 »
Hello All,

We are back for a new collaboration (open to anyone) for a new marble wrist rest.
This one will be made of Italian Carrara marble and shaped to a completely new design !

As well, there will be the option for an engraved Parthenon logo filled with a metallic paint close to RAL 1024 (as per the keycaps set).
This engraving is made by water jet with a size of 29mm*25mm // 1.14*1 inch for a stroke thickness of almost 2mm (0.08inch) and a depth of 1mm (0.04inch).

Some Renders:





Photo of engraving tests:




Some Carrara marble from my other keyboard case project:
Honed finish:

Polished finish (same as for this current project)

Carrara marble with stronger veining:



GB Details:
This GB will stay open for one month and half (until 28th March).
Estimated shipping date is July 2021

We will ship worldwide with DHL / SF Express (depending of your location)
Shipping to US/Canada/West Europe will be 25USD (from Taiwan)

3 sizes will be available and the prices will be:
- 60%: 63 USD
- 65%: 66 USD
- TKL: 68USD
The engraving will be a +5 USD option (it is not possible to customize it)

Available now on:
https://marblek.com/product/pre-order-antique-white-wrist-rest-x-gmk-civilizations/

Kindly note that each piece that will be produced will be unique and so not exactly the same as on the render (= the grey veining may vary a bit)

If you have any question, please, let us know  :thumb:

As per some requests, I added a few photos of the Carrara marble samples that I have, to show the variety.

Here is the color that will be used for the infill:







It is a metallic gold color that is a bit red/orange, closer to Ochre color, to try to match with the GMK Civilization RAL 1024.
A sample with Carrara marble is in the making and the engraving will be improved a bit.

Engraving looks pretty good. I’m excited. The infill looks very orange more than gold but I’m hoping it will look good with the white marble

I think I put the light to close when taking these photos, that gives the orange/warm reflection.
I have this photo with the white marble that is more representative:

I should receive all the wrist rests by end of the month, then prepare the shipping :)

Hello !

We just received the first batch of marble wrist rests, mostly the 60% and TKL sizes.
We will start shipping within the next weeks and we hope to receive the 65% by end of the month.

I will try to take some photos  :thumb:
