You sold them right before I joined GH. By the time I saw other peoples, and wanted to get one for myself you had already stopped selling them.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see them sold again.

Never had a chance to pick up a laminated one. I printed one out but laminated would be better. :)

I really want one of these as well.

Is there something special that I'm missing here? Why doesn't someone just buy a laminator and make these?I've considered making and selling some but didn't know if there were any 'rights' involved.

Didn't boost do the original run of laminated ones?

I'm sure if there's a rights issue it wouldn't be hard to recreate the overall idea with half a day in Illustrator.

Yes it was Boost who had them made

I could just laminate one myself, but I've never seen a printable. Well, I've never really looked for the file if it is out there somewhere.
Post by: SpAmRaY on Sun, 07 June 2015, 21:48:02
I, too, would be interested in this.I think there are links to the pdf in the OP of the simple answers thread.

Printed one out on two pages and taped it together, ghetto but works. Would still buy one if it was laminated.

Ah, danke.
Eh, I'd hate to tape two pieces of paper together. Indeed, ghetto, even in laminate. I must find bigger sheets of paper!

Forget Ghetto style, would rather like someone to organize a GB on this and supply it already laminated on one sheet. I'll buy at least 10 off that person easily :thumb: .

like sheet, (see what i did there?) don't make me steal company paper/ink using the high end printer and spend a **** ton of time laminating these by hand

For what its worth - until a GB happens or if you want your own copy now - you can toss that .PDF on a thumb drive and take it to your local Fedex Office/ Office Depot/ whatever similar service you have locally they can generally print it on the appropriate legal size paper and laminate for a few bucks.
For people with spare time on their hands or are living in the city districts but for those stuck out in the fvcking desert, no chance ever to have this done >:( .

If i3oilermaker doesn't want it, I'll organize a groupbuy for them. I want to start making a couple groupbuys happen and this would be a good starter one anyways.
There's something bubbling in the pipelines... SoonTM

I have a laminated mat (thanks, skcheng!), and they are the most useful thing ever. At least when sorting keysets. :)
agreed! and +1 to thank skcheng on the hookup! he's the man!

For the record, it seems that i3oilermaker does not object to making them, just that the shipping is a pain as they get folded during transit, and sometimes accidentally cut by overenthusiastic keyboard enthusiasts slicing the envelope open.
I think mailing tubes is the answer here.

You bet :thumb: !!!!
One thick tube to house 10 laminated beauties, know it will rapidly fill out that tube once they're all inserted (like the Diesel ;) ) but better crammed into something safely than letting them wing it out in the wild by themselves.
Don't care what the cost is for shipping as long as it gets to Crap Town Australia, in one piece 8) .

Yes it was Boost who had them made
I would think any 'rights' related issues would be related to the designer, no? Didn't flynn design these?

the source files are still sitting on the forum and i believe i have copies in the gh dropbox. i vaguely remember putting a couple thousand dollars down on these kits though, and it took quite a while to make it back. i think it was something like a dollar and change per sheet at qty of 150.
(oh, missed pg.2 yay someone found it on the dropbox)

Thermal laminator: $21.65 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BUI5QWS/
(I have the slightly pricier TL901.)
Laminating sheets, 20 pack: $6.73 on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZDL0M0/
Why this is less than a nice key cap set. Sold for $2 each this could even be profitable.
But then: I found that, once I had a laminator, I started laminating all sorts of things. It's awesome.
EDIT: I went ahead and ordered some laminating sheets. 20 is more than I'll need. If you want a laminated version of "keycap_paper_legal_v3.pdf" shoot me a PM. I think $5 shipped should about do it.
Post by: HoffmanMyster on Tue, 09 June 2015, 14:22:20
You can make these yourself, pretty cheaply. Let's assume you are able to print legal paper and have access to a color printer.

Alright, I've got ten of these printed and laminated. One is for me and three are sold. I can easily print ten more. Who else wants one? Only $5 shipped!
(Attachment Link)
When you do ship them, make sure you make it clear that the package should not be bent, and that it should be opened carefully.
So many accidents happened when someone cut the top of the package open and accidentally cut through the mat.
