Welcome to the interest check for the POM Alice!
I am planning on running a group buy for a TGR Alice-style case laser cut from POM!
I have tried POM cases, and they have a very unique sound (one that goes particularly well with tactiles). The details aren’t firm yet, and I am still trying to find out what people want (i.e, color choices, alternate materials), but
POM seems to be relatively uncharted territory in this community.
Here are the details:
Laser cut black/white delrin (POM) sheets
MOQ: 25 units
Quantity: unlimited
Includes:
POM Alice Case,
3mm POM half plateGroup Buy Date: November 1st, 2019
I will handle orders privately through Geekhack
Price: Dynamic pricing!
0-100 units - $140
100-250 units - $130
250+units - $120
Cost for coned aluminum feet + screws - $12
Additional Fee for White Color - $8
I will also be offering the classic ProjectKeyboard PCBs along with the cases. We will need to hit 50 MOQ for them to be produced, and they will cost $50 each. They will have a black solder mask so they should look good in most acrylic boards too.
This keyboard is using Zambunon’s Lubrigante case, which is a slightly more compact version of the Alice, with more refined design (IMO). The picture below is the exact design of the Lubrigante, but made out of acrylic (will attach prototype pictures once it arrives).

If you’re planning on doing this yourself, I highly recommend picking up a PCB for the Alice (ProjectKeyboard has a GB running right now!).

https://forms.gle/MrxTbjEQuj9EESMy5 I don’t have renders for this (I don’t know how to create renders from DXF files, but I’ll attach pictures of the prototype once it gets here), but here is some eye candy of acrylic Alices (use your imagination!).
