[IC]Hammer x T0mb3ry resin spacebars for SA Cabon (Sample Update 7.14)

[Hammer]

I really did some things with T0mb3ry these days.
The resin SA Carbon spacebar is coming!
We have decided to offer three options after discussion.
6.25U for MX
7U for MX
6U for Topre
I think we should really value the needs of topre users
I will start a groupbuy on Massdrop soon.
And if u r lucky enough, you would get my gift!(not in the renders but I'll make them.)

Wish u like them.


////////////////////////////////////////Update 7.14///////////////////////////////////////////

I have finished the moulds and they looks nice.
It's only the sample to test the moulds so ignore the color, it's not 100% matches so I have to adjust.
Will soon update pics of the back.
Thanks guys.
<<<<
Finished! These are not renders guys xd
That orange color is not well matched,I will deal with it.

These look really nice! I've not seen your work before, how does resin feel compared to the usual ABS SA Spacebar? Also any idea of rough pricing?

[Sissy]

while I'm still on the fence about Carbon since so many sets coming right now, this is pretty awesome and nice you will offer a 7u size.

They have the same surface and feel.

Hype! 

[MUMU]

WOW! Did you have an average price for this?

[kawasaki161]

HOOLY Mother of hype

[Anakey]

hmm no love for the smaller keyboards?

[bun]

These look really nice friendo 

Given what I just spent on carbon, I don't think it'll be too much of a stretch to find some extra funds for these... price being reasonable of course, do you have any kind of estimate?

How will the resin surface wear in contrast to carbon's ABS?

Would be interested in a 6.25x cherry as well as a 6x topre for if I decide to mod my HHKB to take cherry.

These resin caps are more lustrous than sp's sa.

Any plans for more spacebars in the future?

[dblack]

Depending on the price, I'd be in for all 3. Or at least 7u and 6u.

There was also other resin keycaps for Carbon, i saw them on taobao but i can't find it anymore, are  you the same guy Hammer?
 
Not sure, can't find the link of it anymore.

These space bars are sick!

I don't even own Carbon and I want one.

Same here. Won't be participating in Carbon really (asides warning signs/Half Life kits because they're very cool and a bargain) but I'm definitely buying a few of these.

SA Topre spacebar that matches one of my favorite sets.  Guess I'm buying my first artisan.

Damn, if that isn't beautiful. This looks like a must have.

Hammer, would you sincerely consider doing an ISO Enter-key aswell? Since ISO users are left out of the Carbon design in the current drop, and it's a shame not being able to properly fit  the set with the honeycomb design

[breusch91]

Will there be an orange version?

sorry no,just in the base color.

This kind of sucks. I'm sure me and many others love the orange alphas and pair it with an orange spacebar. As a big fan and current owner of SA Carbon I'd love this in orange, but will probably be sitting out for the current color.

Sorry bro, if we made a orange one,we have to change the icon to fix that color.
It's going to be a big project.

As a purchaser of only the orange alphas, it is definitely a small portion of the LARGE amount of carbon sets sold. I think it would've looked so beautiful though  Good luck!

[Elrick]

Hype! 

Too fvckin right  .

The Space bar is the MOST important key on any keyboard and if you're going to make it, make it right.

Looking forward to picking up several for all the other keyboards under my roof.  The light colour used will go with any key-set designed in the last five years.

We need more space bar love here on Geekhack Central  .

Iso enter with graphene/honeycomb does not look good. I've discarded this idea long time ago. Thats why rolling bones do exist.

Anyway this drop is only for resin Spacebars.

Sure man, as u can see, honeycomb doesn't fix the enter key enough.

It's only for SA Carbon R2 and that's not complete my own design so I will not run this group again.
Even if tom decides to start R3, we are going to make it with another icon.

There will be 1U keycaps as raffle, no idea about selling.

[xantiema]

I see. I hope some are sold 

Someone on Massdrop is asking whether you will add any UV protection to the resin mix. They are worried about sun/UV-light turning it yellow over time.

I will add antioxidants,this process will be slowed down.but It will still be oxidized,this is the law of nature.
Every cap is.
And of this spacebar, the base color is beige, and I will also make the top layer in the similar color, iz not completely colorless.
thx for asking

[Latin00032]

Are you going to make a gmk profile compatible spacebar for topre for some of the upcoming GBs like nautilus?

There'll never be another drop for carbon r2, you can try to get it from the people who is broke in that drop

[amnesia0287]

You should consider doing drops like this AFTER the set gb ends. I didn't decide to buy carbon until the last minute. I totally would buy this now.  Had no interest if I wasn't getting it.

I think you will get better sales numbers if you wait until people can already have the cap orders in.

Hey buddy, A few drops back you did the carbon single keys with carbon logo  in resin . any chance of bringing that drop back for this whole package to be awesome ? That is the only thing we are missing now. I partook in the drop for this awesome spacebar, but was hoping before end year you may consider the singles as well .. Pretty Please !?

I second this .. Much want > As in previous comment . There are tons of request for this my dude. Make it happen for your next drop. It will fall in line so well with the R2 drop of carnbon. A raffel will not be enough to get the majority taken care of. And some one like me who never wins raffles, will not get to enjoy your awesome work!

Guess i need to buy another hhkb and novatouch it.  )

[mbsurfer]

Wow these turned out great! Amazing work

[t4n6]

Hammer/T0mb3ry,

These look absolutely amazing.

Will there be extras? I already ordered one of the 6.25u with MX stems, but was curious if I could possibly order an additional 6u topre, since I was contemplating getting a FC660c and stem-swapping it for MX stems, and I've heard that Topre spacebars are hard to make work with MX stems.

Never mind, just reread the thread.

Hi there, really great spacebars, couldn't be happier with mine, except I wish I had gotten the 6.25U one too, since the board I wanna use it on doesn't support the 7U I intended for it. Do you by any chance have a spare 6.25U one I could obtain? (I've been searching to trade my 7U with a 6.25U with someone, but didn't find anyone willing yet) ;) (or maybe Hammer has one spare?)

EDIT: looks like I found someone for the trade after all ;) dismiss my comment (except the part where I'm really happy with it) ;)

[t4n6]

I got one of the raffle keys (SA row 1), and as of this morning the stem fractured and a piece of it broke off. Any chance I can get it replaced or send it in to get repaired?

@hammer

[alisonica]

Hey yeah me too, one of my stems broke off on the carbon spacebar when I was removing it for the first time on a novatouch. I don't think replacements are possible but what glue could I use/ I still have all the pieces xD
