I have a few extra plates from my Blackwing project, thread:
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73452.0Cut at BigBlueSaw, from 316 Stainless Steel.
I wanted to make a few more iterations and sell the completed projects, but this summer didn't go as planned.
$30/plate + shipping

Decided to build a custom (

Unfortunately I'm not really able to use a nonstandard layout right now, since I'm using lab keyboards pretty much every day.
This was a great project and learning experience for me, but for now I have to move on to other ventures.
Asking $190 + Shipping. Open to trades.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3na67m/my_first_custom_the_blackwing/Asking $225, shipped. Used lightly for about four months. Programmed with the Massdrop Configurator. Everything works perfectly.
The Story: I really liked the Ergodox design, but am not a huge fan of cherry switches, so I wanted to try to put Matias switches in one. I looked for a tried and true method of doing so, but all I could find was one or two posts of people with PCB mounted versions, which simply would not do (I don't do things the easy way). So I decided to just pull the trigger and start ordering components, and hope that I could figure things out.
The 'Dox kit was ordered from FalbaTech, the switches from mechanicalkeyboards.com, and the caps from eBay. The switches are Matias clicky.
Fast forward a month or two, and I had all the components, and so I had to try and figure out how to make these switches fit in the plate cutouts. I thought about machining the plate, but that seemed like it was going to be too involved and complicated, so I decided to hand file each individual cutout to make them fit.
It took a while, but every switch fits nice and snugly. Some of the pins had to be bent a bit to fit the PCB, but all in all I couldn't believe how well it all went together. And here we are. I really like the board, but in the process of building it, I found out that I enjoy making boards more than I do owning them, and so now I'm selling this bad boy to fund my next ventures.
