So, here is the final design:



Black lines are cut, blue is engraved and green is a crevice.
I am leaning towards the GH font for text.
Bottom stuck with removable switch top.
Cherry MX Blue switches.
Will come in a cheap plastic box with snake chain(http://i.imgur.com/fY5giRR.jpg), 3.5mm clear dustplug (http://i.imgur.com/pp7aIwK.jpg), and small blue phone lanyard(http://i.imgur.com/PFTjIga.jpg).

Pricing would be $3 including all surcharges. $3 for shipping and optional $1 to GH funds and optional $1 for my time.

If members are good with this, I will create form to fill up and get started on this

I made a mistake, pricing would not be calculated until we know the numbers, it would be following this simple formula, $250per 100 orders. So if we have 50 orders it would be $5, shipping will $3, and no other charges.

The increase in $50 from my previous post is because of the increased USD-INR rate which is affecting the market now as old stocks of materials are being replenished, I've removed the PayPal fees as extra to compensate for price increase.

Sorry for the confusion.

That price is still very reasonable! I feel like we'll easily get to the 100 mark though :)

I feel like you really didn't need to remove the paypal fee either, but it is much appreciated!

Thanks!

So, these are the pics, these are not the prototypes, only reason I got them was to get size idea and fitting of the switch.

I think it is best to get the names etched and not marked (Half-cut/crevice) as I had thought.



The laser cutter warped the acrylic on this one and I ran out of chloroform for welding so had to make do with cyanoacrylate glue.
