edit: sandblasted and anodized plates would look pretty amazing.

Sandblasted would have to be on the stainless steel, because blasting aluminum can be tricky. You can easily wear away too much, and if the wrong blasting media is used, you can easily damage the piece.

I think a Phantom plate that supported 10x and 8x spacebars would be pretty cool. Ditto for GH60

I don't think you can have a 8x or a 10x since it would more than likely hit a switch cutout. If it does hit a cutout, that stabilizer would need to be PCB, which the phantom doesn't support.

However, I could be wrong *waits for Jd*

Yes, the stabilizer holes for 8/9/10x spacebars will fit in the ANS150 plate. 8x spacebar won't work, even though 1.5-1-1-8-1-1-1.5 would fit on the plate, the holes on the PCB don't line up for the inside 1x switches next to the spacebar.

I am still very interested in this GB. Any plate that will work with the phantom is good. but cheaper is better.

Beast stated from the beginning that this wouldn't be happening until around/after thanksgiving. He's got a lot going on up until then, so don't expect any news regarding this becoming a GB until that time frame.

FYI, Thanksgiving is always the fourth Thursday in November in the US. :)

I don't know if it's the best place to ask, but is there still plans for a 60% plate (poker for me) but with the bent sides to make some kind of case at the same time?

It's being bent by another forum member. He has a test plate, I'm just waiting for it to be bent.

Nice to hear. So I suppose that if all works well it will end up as a different GB than this one?

Not sure yet since I don't know when I'll be getting the test plate back.

I would really be up for this.  Been wanting a Filco-compatible TKL plate that allows for relatively painless switch mods (after the initial pain of installing, of course).
A nice color would be icing on the cake.

So looking forward to another plate group buy. I bought the phantom r1 pcb, and then got side tracked with life. By the time I got back to the forums, all of the cases and plate buys had ended. Currently playing catchup to get back in the game.

Not sure how these plate buys work, but would it be possible to have a custom design tacked on to the order? Local laser cutting has proved prohibitively expensive for me.

Along the same lines as the poster above; how expensive would it be for your local fab shop to cut a layers ErgoDox case out of stainless steel?  Would it be around $20-25 per layer, or...?

As to a Litster style steel Ergodox case, I've sorta derailed CZarek's 'proper case' thread pointing out that now that I've see usable files I'm going to research exactly this question. I'll update that thread with some vague price tiers if I hear anything promising.
