Title: [GB] PLA60 Gasket Mount 60%
Post by: ReDsNoTDeAd on Mon, 05 April 2021, 09:26:06
Hi everyone, the PLA60 is live and ready to roll. Some models ship sooner than others - all that info can be found on the website below:

Timeline:
Solder PCB units ship sooner, as those are in stock. Hotswap units are a short GB that I plan to fulfill in 4-8 weeks.

3D Printed cases are so neat, I'll consider this.

not sure if you've posted this elsewhere, but do you have an image of what layout(s) the hotswap pcb would support?

Would the plates support the arrow key layout with the dz60?

Nothing much to report, but I figure I'll give an update here and there, as radio silence seems to be very common among GB runners these days - and nobody likes that. Slowly trickling some orders out. Hotswap PCBs are ordered, the factory told me 4-5 weeks to get those in hand. Printers are running 24/7 to get these fulfilled in the sequence they came in!

I am also building another large printer to further increase my printing capacity, so I should be all caught up on case prints by the time the hotswaps get in.

Here is a typing test as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IPulIF9BIM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IPulIF9BIM)

Thanks all! If you ever have any questions please reach out to me via email/discord. Email is rndkbd@gmail.com and the Discord link is on the header of rndkbd.com

Fab has sent us pictures of the pre-production PCBs. We are expecting these in the first week of June.

Will this PCB be available in the future for purchase separately?

Probably. And most likely a hotswap 75% to go with the PLA75 ;)

Hotswap PCBs are here. I'm going to start shipping those out this weekend. Thanks for everyone's patience! This pre-order has been going smoothly so far, just a tad behind schedule... but I'd say that's not bad for COVID + microchip shortage.
