I didn't know that housing GB was very difficult.
Many things made trouble and  it took a lot of times.

Thank you for waiting for a long time.

Every Group Buy happens across problems and whatnot because that is LIFE  :thumb: .

Nothing ever goes to plan since things shall occur beyond your control hence don't fret.

Just proceed at your own pace because making a keyboard from scratch is not an easy task and I've been through heaps waiting for my keyboards to be built so I know the misery and effort involved here.  Make sure everything is nice with your family because a man with no family is a man truly alone in this cold, cruel world.

Thanks for keeping in touch with us here on Geekhack  :) .

If anyone has a plate + pcb combo they want to sell, or if there are extras, please let me know.

Got one, thank you all.

That is true :D But also I might be moving soon and things will get complicated for a while. The plan was to swap the PCB on my wife's 1800.

3000 plate and pcb.. Good.
My assembling two points are bad.
I made faults in fixing cable and connector.
On another NCR housing... I will fix them.

And..
Stainless steel plate feeling is good.  :D

Other side of this Convict Settlement (Australian Continent), the Mrs is sometimes at home base but she works as well so the place is essentially empty most of the time.

The only time it's filled with us, myself and her,  is when I arrive back home (every fortnight) via the local airport.

Thanks for the tutorial Ki, I wouldn't be able to do it as easily if you didn't post that.

How come you used a blade to cut it? Looks really difficult haha

I used general paper knife.
ABS housing is soft.
So it is easy to cut.
But be careful not to hurt.

The best part of hooking up to the web is seeing such a luscious image of an all BLACK TX1800  :thumb: .

Most newbs at our work site got bookmarks to the most depraved porno sites on the web but not me,  I ONLY have "Geekhack" setup in Firefox and even the Head honcho here wonders why that is so.
