Title: [IC] Fox Lab PCBs reproduction
Post by: senter on Thu, 02 May 2019, 14:13:12
This is an IC for reproducing all the previous Fox Lab PCBs including Orange 80, Time TKL, Orange 75, Leaf 80, and Leaf 60.

A round of PCBs can be manufactured whenever the MOQ for a certain PCB is met.

Please fill up this form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1uWpCPv_0yhL2HPNiFSmKCH55_8hs6w1yEVNygV2OsUQ) if you need a replacement PCB for your Fox Lab boards.
Filling up this form does not guarantee you will receive the invoice in a short time.

I haven't got a formal quote yet but I plan to keep it about the same as the original price if not lower. This reproduction is not for profit.

Fantastic to hear! I might be in for a Leaf 80 PCB as they are also ALPS-compatible.

The Leaf 60 PCB is only compatible for the same board, right? It won't be cross-compatible with any other similar boards?

Hello - somewhat unrelated, but was interested in having another plate cut for my Orange 80. Any chance you could share file or consider doing plate retro plate run , also?

Very happy to see this, Senter. I'm having a couple Time plates cut for me as we spoke about over email a few months ago, this makes my life quite a bit easier.

Submitted for a Time PCB (may add another when the MOQ has been reached) as well as an extra for my Leaf 60 since I forgot to get one during GB and I probably shouldn't gamble on that.

@Senter

I would be happy to help get all these boards into qmk_firmware/QMK Configurator for both the native QMK pcb and boot mapper ones. If you're interested please shoot me a message =).

Even making the plate files available would be handy.

Yeah I'd be happy to foot the cost and take on the process myself if plate files were made available. Just didn't know which option Senter preferred, if at all, they are his work.

What a great timing! I just needed a PCB for Time TKL because my previous one had broken.
Thanks Senter for doing this!

Looks good. My Orange75 PCB died and I didn't get an extra; hopefully this goes through so I can get two!

I actually need a new pcb for my Orange Pad. It just stopped working one day, and I haven't been able to get it to work since.

Bought an Orange 75 second hand and would love to have a backup pcb and possibly switch over to a brass plate if you ever plan on running plates/hardware as well.
Title: Re: [IC] Fox Lab PCBs reproduction
Post by: resonantarchitect on Tue, 28 May 2019, 07:08:40
In for 1 Orange75 PCB. WOuld definitely be in for an OrangePad PCB as well if they were offered.

Also after plates for both Orange75 & OrangePad.

Thanks so much for setting this up for the current PCBs! Been having trouble finding Orange75 pcbs in the wild.

My orange80 pcb died. I think it is the usb connector that was damaged by one of the custom usb cable you can buy on massdrop.

I am going to try to repair it but I could use a new one just in case I fail.

Post by: 0sirisTV on Fri, 28 June 2019, 12:55:24
Any updates on this? Would definitely want 2 Orange 75 pbcs and 2 Leaf 60 pcbs.

If ever the Fox Lab Orange 75 gets rerun, I'm in. Missing out on getting that in the green color is one of the few keyboard regrets I've ever had.

Filled out the form for a couple of Orange75 PCBs. My Orange75 had a mishap with the USB port getting broken off, would gladly buy a replacement and a spare!

Hey [mention]senter [/mention]

Any chance this is still active? I’d love to have 2 solderable PCBs for my Leaf60.

Gave up on my personal data filling out the form. Do hope it’s not in vain :)

Would really appreciate any update, whether it’s good or bad news!

I do hope for a solder pcb for the leaf. The DXF file is public, but only the ansi one. Is it possible to get the WKL plate files, since I would like to try and print a plate for myself?

Post by: spyruf on Mon, 08 June 2020, 00:59:24
I ported the Leaf 80 to QMK just FYI if that helps anyone. Right now it isn't pushed/merged yet but I'll post a comment when I do that this week.
Also I only added ANSI support right now, no ISO or tsangan.

Leaf60 pcb  :-[ :-[
Title: Re: [IC] Fox Lab PCBs reproduction
Post by: senter on Mon, 06 July 2020, 11:53:52
Unfortunately, none of the PCBs met the MOQ. I was hoping to order at least  30 PCBs for one batch. At this moment, after the IC has been posted for more than 1 year, only 73 people filled in the form and none of the PCBs meet the 30pcs MOQ. Also, I'm not sure if those who filled in the form one year ago still need the PCBs.

Due to how low the interest is, I have no choice but to cancel this IC.

For Key65 PCBs, I do have some leftovers. Check the link in my forum signature.
