Ya he is only just getting to shipping. Orders for people who just got PCBs (no case) and are willing to do their own SMD soldering are just going out now. He promised full SMD soldering and the MOQ didn't get met so the factory said No, so he is SMD soldering all the boards for people. He is a champ cause thats a crap ton of tedious work. I hope he has a hot air station or his life is going to be hell.

I only got PCBs and I am doing my own soldering and my order won't get out for another week at least (its a holiday over there right now).

I think that we will start to see these in the 'got in the mail' thread in about 3 weeks. The end is in sight though...

No, that one has an exposed acrylic plate ontop of the 2 layered case. That was graefeln's choice to not have a 3rd layer.

Very nice! Mine's going to be really similar. I'm still debating about the clear switch tops - I know they'll make any board look awesome, but I heard there are some clearance issues with the 2x3x4 leds so I think you need to dremel the sides a bit so they fit in the covers.

I don't have any issues with my Desko set (Cherry profile) and 2x3x4 LEDs.

My sprit pcb + plate. The space cutout is a bit weird, but overall I really like it. The 5mm acrylic plate feels great!

sprit · « **Reply #73 on:** Sun, 31 May 2015, 07:54:58 »

Nice!

Space bar cut is open, due to the Plate is 5mm Thick.
- pros : You dont have to worry about the stab wires hang off.

If it were normal 1.5mm Thin plate, it would be closed.

- cons : You may have a headache, when the stab wire goes off the trail. sometimes you have to desolder the plate.

Clearance issues for 2x3x4mm LEDs with Caps : Only A row with GMK or Cherry original caps, afaic.

Any other reports ?

I don't have any issues with my Desko set (Cherry profile) and 2x3x4 LEDs.

My sprit pcb + plate. The space cutout is a bit weird, but overall I really like it. The 5mm acrylic plate feels great!

Thanks! I just finished assembling everything - there are absolutely no clearance issues!

Nice thanks for the follow up! Are those keycaps OEM profile?

Yep, I think the clearance issue is only with the clear switch tops from Gateron (or another brand that I can't think of right now) and the 2x3x4 leds. Check out LastPilot's LZ-S build log here https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=69764.0. He illustrates the issue in detail.

It's good idea Not to get dirty

ohhh my lol. that was not intentional. and now... I will have to desolder and resolder the whole board to get that bottom layer off

but thanks for the heads up Sprit

Or, Just do it Next time when You have to desolder

No LEDs yet? (Then SWs desoldering seems Not that hard Job, but ..)

Let's just imagine, its a Clear frosted plate

I did the same thing >_< Only realized after I noticed that the protection sheet increased the plate thickness just enough so that the switches in the plate wouldn't be flush against the pcb. Had to fix it or else I'd have different key heights for some mods and keys

There is a simple Assemble guide . I try to peel the sheet off a bit before shipping.
Acrylic Plates and Cases are very transparent by itself.

So, enjoy the Spirit 60% PCB so much that I have two.

I added SMD LEDs to the one in the TEXT acrylic case for a backlighting effect.

Warm and cool lighting.

The bottom-side LEDs - does SPRiT's 60% PCB support them, or was it a "homebrew" solution? (Looking at the pics of the PCBs in the other SPRiT's thread, I didn't see extra pads for LEDs are resistors there...)

Homebrew! 2x3x4mm LEDs in the switches and SMD LEDs sharing the same pads on the bottom. The LED brightness decreases a bit, but it's still bright enough.

Its been pointed out me that I've been incorrectly referring to Sprit as Spirit. I've seen his name a bunch of times, but it just never registered correctly in my brain. I feel bad.

Sorry Sprit!

I do, I've recommended it to a few people! It's quite sturdy and I think it has a great sound to it. It's also great at distributing the LED lights.
