How are the caps mounted? Are the stems attached or does the holder have square cut-outs for the bottom of the keys?
You can buy something similar on taobao.
Greetings fellow Hack-ians!
I recently received a package from MassDrop and was surprised that it came with a little board holding all the keycaps in place nicely, picture of said board (green in color) is below:Show Image(https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/product-images/MD-10387_20150821221802_e9a1fa94fa4e5fc2.jpg)
Does anyone have any idea if you can purchase these? If so from who!?
Ps. No idea if this was posted in the correct section :3
PPs. Not at home at the moment, but can certainly take pictures of the one I received when I'm back from work in a week or so.

You just need some more boards to hold caps :D
I've been thinking about a shadowbox with foam in it to support the caps toward the glass to hang on the wall behind my monitors myself.

Do you mean the cardboard with holes cut out for the caps? I ordered some KeyCool Gradients from MassDrop and received something like that. It didn't travel very well, and the keycaps were all kind of at the bottom of the box, which was really unfortunate for trying to get the gradient to look right (I still move keycaps around on it from time to time).
Most likely at first, have to get a good concept down first :)
Not at all, this is an actual board (plastic) with MX stems that the caps fit into very nicely.

Weird, the last keycools I bought had the caps in a big plastic bag with individual key rows holding them in place, this thread has got me keen for that board mount though.
Currently in the process of designing one now. Printed the first stem, came out a little weird.I have it uploaded to Thingiverse now. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1094451
I can probably have the STL's up tonight, if anyone wants to print them.
Also, if anyone has the exact size of the stems, will they post? I don't have any calipers, and after google and my own measurements, I haven't been able to get the exact measurements

Keycools are a bit different, I also got mine on a plastic bag. These NKPC rainbows (currently on MD) have the board.

That's pretty coincidental, I am in that drop! Wooo.

You should '+1' my comment which says something along the lines of 'where do we get these boards from/can we get a seperate drop for these'. :D

Mizz? Done.
Yeah man, it's cool. Got any idea on the price?
I'm gonna have one of these in a few weeks from another keycap set but it would be heaps more convenient for storage of all the others and keeping them in order!
if these get sourced. I need some.
Glenmael gonna need this keycap holder for all the KRAP keys that he got the other day!
Would be perfect if they were stackable, does something like that exist for those of us with limited space ie NYC apartmentshttp://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=us104_case

These looks so cheap compared to the nice board style in the first post. But having a cover is nice too.Would be perfect if they were stackable, does something like that exist for those of us with limited space ie NYC apartmentshttp://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=us104_case
Yeah, they seem to serve two different purposes very well--protected storage or display storage
Wait, I'm confused. Do the NPKC ones have some sort of cover? How can they stack if they don't?
