The idea is nice but...
> Would like to have various plate and weight options, which will depend on interest and demand.
Thick brass plates are not pleasant to type on. I'd try to model out this now, whilst you're at this stage. Cater for what you are looking for in a project first, before designing purely based on community feedback.
Thanks for the feedback!
I suppose thick brass plates are a matter of
preference.
For me the plate choice is always determined by the choice of switches that I will use for a certain build. So I would like to provide options. At least during IC.
Currently, the tooling used for CNC should be possible to be used for all the plates regardless of thickness. (Under verification with a mechanical engineer I know.)
At the moment, the more challenging factor to me is to design the macroless and 60% halves in a way that they could also use the same mounting points at large as the "full" version for CNC.
I'm well aware that manufacturing quantity drives cost down and I want to provide multiple options while keeping the involved manufacturing costs at a minimum.
