[IC] aluminum case for beastmask's PCB (A87, thumb, face, mx-mini...)

[alixinhzai]

This theard for everyone buy beastmask's PCB but dont have any aluminum case. Spirit run this GB PCB in here: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50580.0

prototype of V6 and V8T alu case: http://imgur.com/a/5jchx - http://imgur.com/a/KQD17

This case will support:
125$ V6 for 60% PCB: face and thumb. *It's only case, If u want plate, it'll take more 35$
155$ V7 for 70% PCB: only mx-miniU not another mx-mini. *It's only case, If u want plate, it'll take more 35$
250$ V8A for 80% PCB: a87 ps2avr and ps2avrU. *Include plate
300$ V10 for 100% PCB: new A87U-Ex. *Include plate

Special:

• Use alloy aluminum 7075 made in EU. It's one of the best alloy aluminum, but it's high cost.
• 3 type surface: glossy, sandblast and brush aluminum (like one prototype).
• All hard anodizing. 10 colour avaiable: base color are silver, black and red. Sample color here: http://imgur.com/a/jSUSc (My color will see deeper than that by hard anodizing). I'll take sample real color in hard anodizing soon.
  Add 5$ more for another color and 8$ for Pink color (I dont know why this color so expensive). See color :

Is it possible to make a case for the HHKB?

[alixinhzai]

Is it possible to make a case for the HHKB?

No bro, plate in HHKB is a top cover of switch... It's hard to made metal plate like this.

[redskull]

whats the estimate price for the casings?

[BliTzKiN]

I would be interested in this

[Dubsgalore]

I wish the v6 didn't have any feet...I am not a fan of feet on 60% cases or TKL cases

Good luck regardless!

[jdcarpe]

For those who don't know, BeastMask created the PCBs that sprit is selling at the moment in his GB.

[pasph]

So PCBs in Spirit GB will fit in these plate/cases?
(no one has seen those PCBs or some scheme)

I made this case for those PCB bro

[jdcarpe]

Oh, I forgot to mention. I'm in for a V7, V8, and V10.

I already have to many 60% alu cases.

[pasph]

In for a V7

[roadblock2thesun]

I think I am in for a v8. Will there be an option for 86 key as well as 84 key? Also, will the plates allow for swapping of switch stems?

[alixinhzai]

yes, this is base option. Plate now is fixed but if someone want openable sw T_T I'll try.

[yicaoyimu]

$125 for a 7075 aluminum hard anodized case is a steal! I'm interested in a 70% case, but not sure whether I should wait for LZ-MX GH or not...

Excellent. The openable switch is not a requirement, I was just curious. Thanks for the reply

[Melanic]

I would be interested in this, but I will have to wait until I see Sprit's metal cases before I can decided one way or the other.

Will these be compatible with Sprit's plates? (sorry if the answer is obvious, I'm new to the whole DIY keyboard scene)

[pasph]

What is the MOQ for these?

[alixinhzai]

I dont know spirit design :v I cant say anything now

MOQ is 5 for each batch

[Dubsgalore]

Oh, I forgot to mention. I'm in for a V7, V8, and V10.

I already have to many 60% alu cases.

The record for 60% alu cases 

[bazh]

I dont think sprit can provide 7075 alu case in such a price so jump in now, people

[HPE1000]

That price for the 60% is crazy low! 7075 and hard anodized for 125 is awesome.

[Loligagger]

So when sprit gets around to making a 98/99 key (similar to the quickfire TK layout) pcb, could you design a case for it? The V6 and V8 cases are beauties.

[alixinhzai]

I dont know about this layout. I never see a87 support this? Design this is easy, but i think beastmask dont make any sw upper arrow key... like phantom

Since he called the new A87 "94%", I believe it do support the layout like Phantom does

[alixinhzai]

new A87? and he will design new PCB because ATMEGA32 upper arrow keys

from what I understand the name "94%" (87+7), it seems to be a new pcb, but we have to wait to see the final stuff to say anything

[Vintage]

Nice case. Is that second color pic of the gray or black? And does this come with those awesome anodized stabilizers too? 

[nickr]

How much does the V6 case weigh?

[cookiesowns]

Might be in for two. Damnit, shouldn't have put in my order for 4 SPRiT cases.

second color pic in this topic is silver and It's anodized stab

How much does the V6 case weigh?

around 400g

Might be in for two. Damnit, shouldn't have put in my order for 4 SPRiT cases.

I'll open GB for this case after get real color sample

thx

[HPE1000]

I assume the v6 would be poker compatible then? I would love to throw my poker in the v6.

If that is true, I just hope the purple color is a darker purple because I don't want it looking girly.

Also, once you get the colors and can start the GB, do you have any clue how long it would take from start to finish?

Thanks 

[alixinhzai]

yeah, It fit all 60% pcb

My 60% case here http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51101.0

[taylordcraig]

Will teh 70% fit my race? I might go with a 60% but I'm watching sprits GB too.
NEED ME SOME ALU CASES

[alixinhzai]

not sure about race I dont have any race PCB here for test

[bueller]

Count me in for a 60% case, they're too damn cheap not to get another one

[bazh]

still waiting for the anodizing samples

[bueller]

still waiting for the anodizing samples

He's still CNC'ing the first round of cases, patience my son

[Vintage]

Will there be a separate GB for the TKL version?

[Travellerr]

Is it possible to make a case for the HHKB?

No bro, plate in HHKB is a top cover of switch... It's hard to made metal plate like this.

Is it the same with the Leopold fc660c because if it is not then I would totally put some money down for one.

[LechnerDE]

What is the status of this? Will the TKL cases be made?

[bazh]

What is the status of this? Will the TKL cases be made?

Not before the 60% case groupbuy got it done I believe

[henz]

what happened with this?

[Signature]

what happened with this?

The user went afk, and barely finished his ongoing GB´s

[henz]

Goddammit! So. Whos running R2? >__< or are there any other alu cases for a87 TKL around here somewhere?

[HPE1000]

You would be an idiot to even consider dealing with this guy...

[henz]

Im not considering anything, im just looking for a87 TKL cases

[SpAmRaY]

You would be an idiot to even consider dealing with this guy...

Another thread that should be locked with a warning.

[DzyDzyDino]

I'd be very interested in a case for 75%/MX-Mini sized case.
