Perfection takes time, secretly I'm happy that nice sets like this take awhile otherwise I wouldn't have the funds to buy them all. :p

All we need now is for them to be able to double shot PBT (and add more PBT colors) and we'll be set ;)

I don't understand why all these PBT fans don't just start a GB for some dyesub caps.

SP don't do PBT SA keycaps. They have some in the keyshop, but it was a custom run that they will not be repeating.

Because Dyesub eliminates color scheme possibilities, such as the modifiers/novelties for this set...

Some of them, yes. So what?

Because people dream of the perfect combination of colors, profile and materials.



Anyways, back on topic, still intently following this thread! I eagerly await your next updates CQ_Cumbers and Oobly :thumb:

I'm a little late to the party, but I think a planck set for this would be amazing, and if you do make one don't forget to include support for the grid layout  :D

I'd be interested in a 1800 kit as well and a stepped caps lock. I love the lightsaver's and rs96 layouts but it's hard finding good sets that are compatible. Waiting on hyperfuse still so I'm stuck with Granite at the moment, I like Granite but DSA isn't my favorite.

Your only options with SA keycaps are doubleshots or pad printing per SP documentation.  SP does not dyesub SA keycaps.

I don't see anybody complaining at all. In fact all I've seen in this thread is people asking if SA PBT is possible, it's just a discussion. People have their preferences and they are entitled to them. After all if I'm going to be purchasing a set I would prefer PBT over ABS mainly due to the fact that PBT caps last a lot longer and don't shine nearly as fast.

This set will be in ABS, because SA Row 3 in ABS best mimics the feel and texture of lego bricks. The plans include alphas with a glossy finish for the same reason. The set design we have now, if the community can get it made, is I think as close to a perfect tribute to lego Classic Space as can be done, and I think most of the proposed changes to PBT or other profiles and finishes, even if possible, would likely make the set less authentic and desirable, not more. As this keycap set gets closer and closer to production, less things are up in the air, and if you look at the discussions that were going on in the earlier pages of this thread, you can see some good reasons for why the set is the way it is now.

SA PBT dyesub is not possible at the moment, and while it would open up many possibilities for set design, it's not a goal of this set in particular. The possibility has been extensively discussed, among the community and with Signature Plastics, and they just do not have the capability to dyesub PBT keycaps in SA profile (The limited run that they will not repeat was blank), and likely will not for a while. For now, I think the community would benefit more from focusing on other efforts. A new font for SA, like the one Oobly is working on now (which this set will be the first one to use), would be the best way to improve design variety and flexibility, in my opinion. Look for the interest check soon!

Alternate kits will probably be relatively limited. This set is using a new, custom made font, which is an enormous project in terms of time, effort, and money. When each new legend costs $50 to make, niche layouts requiring nonstandard legends would need enormous of support in order to be feasible, and even if the support was there the extra work required could be prohibitive. If they do not require extra molds, other layouts might be possible, but again would require more time, effort, and support, and we'll have to pick and choose where to focus - and for now our focus is primarily on the custom font.

Oobly probably knows more about the status of row 4 shifts, but that conversation might be better had elsewhere.

The minute I saw your first design with your new Font being used, I fell in love with it.

It suits it's overall design perfectly hence we need another key-set that stands out more than just with a different Colour-way.  Plus bringing back childhood with the Lego Bricks is truly sublime, like taking a trip back in time to recapture that overall feeling of playing with them.

Not quite sure what you mean. SP only has Gorton Modified as an option for doubleshot SA profile caps right now. We're going to try to get molds made for a new font.

We've chosen a version of Eurostile Extended as it's used on the spaceships for the registration and in the instruction booklets for these sets, so it matches the inspiration well. It's also a very good "foil" to Gorton modified for SA keycaps, since it's both a classic font and "modern", so it can be used for sets that Gorton doesn't suit. I think it helps give many more options for designers.

From the OP: "This keycap set will also introduce a new font for SA profile legends, based on the Eurostile used in original Classic Space sets, which will not only be authentic but hopefully also be helpful to many other designers."

We'll be starting thread soon all about the new font as we need to raise funds to get SP to cut the legend molds for it. It will be usable in future for any SA profile set design. We will entertain discussions about the font choice itself in that thread, but we've got our hearts set on this particular font as a starting point, so it'll have to be a very persuasive discussion for it to be changed to something else. Most other alternative keyboard fonts currently used are simply too similar in their use cases to Gorton Modified. Even Futura is not quite "different enough" IMHO to warrant a new set of molds.

Thank you, everybody for your patience. Even though we're not currently actively working on the design of this set itself, we're laying the groundwork to (hopefully) make it a groundbreaking set.

Green?

I believe these were all the minifig colours for these sets:



Now that the Row 4 Shifts are sorted the font will get more of my time... this is still very much alive and kicking, step by step we'll get there :) I received some colour chips:

116116-0

The red is just right, as is the transparent yellow. The blue and grey are as close as we can get with the currently active SP colours. I've ordered some more whites and yellows to see if we can get even closer than WFK and YCH. Surprisingly, WFK is a bit too cold / blue and the yellow should have just a hair less green / more red. They're still very close, but maybe we can get even closer :)

The current plan has been Massdrop, but only after we've attempted to get the font produced. I'll be starting a thread on the font before end of November, and if all goes well, we'll go forward with this set as soon as possible. At that point we'll also evaluate the GB options again.

I've ordered some more color chips to match the grey, white and yellow better. The red, blue, black and clear yellow are set, as they are definitely the closest matching colours in SP's active list.

Interestingly enough, LEGO changed a number of the colours used around 2004 or so, so I've had to dig out some old LEGO pieces to compare with.

I've ordered some more color chips to match the grey, white and yellow better. The red, blue, black and clear yellow are set, as they are definitely the closest matching colours in SP's active list.

Interestingly enough, LEGO changed a number of the colours used around 2004 or so, so I've had to dig out some old LEGO pieces to compare with.


If you do run Massdrop, maybe this could be the first thisiscamper/harlw mock-up madness collab :D
...I suppose it could be either way  ::)

Any thoughts on how/where you are going to run this?

The current plan has been Massdrop, but only after we've attempted to get the font produced. I'll be starting a thread on the font before end of November, and if all goes well, we'll go forward with this set as soon as possible. At that point we'll also evaluate the GB options again.

Sure! Although Oobly already has nice 3D renders for the set... I suppose a Manly Unicorn collaboration will be the real madness :D
