I was just thinking the same thing today. I am in.

Hello

My brass plate is getting gnarly. I asked Yuktsi for the file, and he sent it to me. I only have the plate file.

Pricing is looking like about $50, but I am talking to other manufacturers to try and lower the price.

Please let me know if you are interested, I will try and get this going soon.

Thanks,

P

nice

Any chance for aluminum as well?

Edit: totally missed the word polycarbonate in the title lol

i added a form, fill it out

[txclack]

Count me in.

Prefer Carbon Fiber, but I'll take Poly too

[Champalan]

Any chance we could also get PCBs? I know he posted the files but I wouldn't be able to do anything with them. I would love some extra pcbs. Haha

[dantambok]

I have another alice coming in December (hopefully) and would love to try a poly plate.

A half-plate poly / brass plate would be great too! 

[Vigrith]

Good idea Puds

Polycarb pref.

no half plates, im cad impaired and lazy

that's a sam question not a puddsy question

i don't know the first thing about getting PCBs manufactured

Good idea Puds

Polycarb pref.

thanks

[Champalan]

No worries. I'm in for this either way. Thanks!

[Puddsy]

No worries. I'm in for this either way. Thanks!

i will say i'd probably buy a second pcb if they were offered

i like to have spares

maybe one in a funny color

i'll investigate this for you actually im into this now

don't set your expectations very high tho

[nulltorious]

In for a polycarbonate plate

[Puddsy]

So far there are 14 responses, about 3/4 of them are saying that they would like polycarb.

Two new fabs have been contacted with requests for quotes (and a possible third has been found), and I will update the thread as more info comes in.

LightningXI has been very helpful (did all the groundwork) in finding me fabs that have a few options for materials.

Right now, it's looking like there will be polycarb plates for sure, and CF plates will be a smaller component of this GB since I am a big fan of them. Depends on pricing, they might not get run at all.

[whitty]

I filled in the form for a plate and I would be interested in a pcb if that becomes a thing

[dantambok]

pls

[SBN]

Would be in for a pc plate and (if doable) also for a pcb.

[Jae-3soteric]

There is no option to select both PC and CF in the form - when if both run I’d like to grab them....

Filled and submitted with preference anyhow.

cant make a plate off that mate

also moqs are a concern here so might not be possible

ah yeah lemme fix that thanks

[JFKroflcopter]

Definitely interested in this - hoping yuktsi can hook us up with extra PCBs.

[audax989]

Might be interested in one if it was polycarb.

[Vigrith]

Also noting I'd like to grab a PCB or two if that does become a thing somehow

[Puddsy]

First new quote returned. 2x the one I had, so that's a no.

Waiting on a second one. If that's no good either, I'll see what my other options are.

Carbon fiber may also potentially be an option, but it might prove too expensive.

Can you elaborate on gnarly? Pics?

that's all brass tarnish

i cleaned it like a month ago but it's already like this again

[Puddsy]

i took off some more caps and i kinda regret it

this is super gross

don't mind the hair

but it's all oxidation

[futurecrime]

Poly plate is exactly what I've been wanting since the start. I actually enquired at a few places myself but with no luck. I have a spare (purple!) PCB and an acrylic plate ready to use in lieu of a polycarb one being available. Might attempt to dremel the acrylic into a half plate if I know I can get a poly one on the go.

One extra request: Clear not frosted, please, with the big gaps on this board it'd be rad to see through to the PCB.

Anyway, in for poly, not for CF.

I was hoping for clear, and I think it's cheaper. How'd you get a spare PCB? Just message yuktsi?

[dantambok]

He prolly ordered an extra from the GB

[Ar556]

I wonder how that happened to your plate.  I'd be in for a clear PC plate.

[Puddsy]

I talked to Sam about it, the short version is that the coating on the plates is thinner than the coating on the weights (hence why my weight is fine), so my overhandling of the plate may have worn off some of the coating. Could also have come from me rubbing it on something mildly abrasive (which makes a lot of sense considering I built it in a fab shop at my college). That, plus the humidity in my room, makes for this weirdness. I could clean it up with some brasso, but I don't really feel like doing that every month that I'm here. Easier to just get a PC or CF plate.

oh tru

The purple ones were protos he decided not to go with for the GB, I'd just seen a pic of one he posted on insta or something ages ago and asked for it when I ordered. Pretty sure there aren't any more of those but I don't know about the regular green ones. Worth asking I guess.

sick

thanks

it's looking like PCBs are a no-go since we aren't ordering enough to get the price down, but i might offer blanks, we'll see

gotta talk to sam about it

Can you include a polycarb plate for Jane v1?

Waiting for the second new quote to be returned. I'd like to start this buy in January, so I'll probably email a few more places after this one. Currently my highest priority.

Greypunk is stalled mostly due to me not wanting to run another keyset GB, and my board is in progress but not nearly ready for IC, let alone GB. Soon, though. I think I'll try and get greypunk going again after this is done. There are a lot of good keyset GBs planned for early next year though, so I might defer responsibility to someone else for it.

[lunr]

poly carb all the things

[Puddsy]

poly carb all the things

agree

[dimo]

I haven’t built my board yet. Should I just wait for this?

Your plate looks pretty gross, and I really don’t want to desolder since I usually start ****ing things up

Would base your decision on which plate material you'd prefer tbh. I wouldn't expect every brass Alice plate to look like as skanky as Puddsy's.

[bthezebra]

Thanks for setting this up puddsy!
