I am new to this forum but am interested into eventually joining the GB for this board. How do you join the GB ? Is there a specific URL for this ?

I was taught "don't say anything if you can't say something nice" but I'm struggling with that right now...

What are the main differences between the Universal and the Single Layout plates for Vega? Just looking for some guidance in making a decision between them & if it'd be helpful to pick up one of each.

I'd guess that the single layout plate only supports the layout of the default hotswap PCB, and the universal layout supports all of the layouts of the solderable PCB.

ai03 has plate files for the Vega available on their website. The reply above is correct: The universal plate has more cutouts in several parts of the plate to accommodate a wider variety of layouts, whereas the single layout plate only supports one.

I've attached snips of the plate files viewed from a CAD program. The first image is the universal plate, the second is the single layout plate. Notice the universal plate's wide cutouts on the bottom row, which will allow for a variety of bottom row layouts.

Hmmm, I'm getting the can't ship to Canada error :-(

Edit: for anyone not able to checkout, I think if you are trying to order 2 base kits things get disabled. Was able to check out with a single base kit.

A few updates for the group buy:

"Shipping not available" issues:
This was caused by having more than one base kit in the order, which results in combined weight going beyond what we calculated shipping for.
We will refund the shipping cost difference for individually placed orders for multiple base kits; see below for more details.

For combined orders of base kit + extra parts:
The combined shipping is actually calculated properly, whether or not it was done in one purchase. The shipping cost bound to the extra parts is the difference the base kit's shipping cost would go up by when the extra part gets tacked on to the main package.

Regarding CN group buy:
Kevin will likely be setting this up shortly on his Taobao storefront.

Regarding GB period:
If it doesn't sell out by Dec 12 12:01PM EST, GB will close and head into manufacturing phase.

Order edit form
For plate/PCB chances, color changes, address changes, etc.
Please note that color/plate/PCB cannot be edited once actual production begins.
https://forms.gle/NdZpVQtRaSSGUGk96

Shipping cost refund form for those who purchased multiple base kits across separate orders
Again, this does not apply if you only purchased a single base kit with multiple extra parts, since that calculates combined shipping properly.
https://forms.gle/1QkMMC75FLWEeh7W6

ETA:
Currently a vague "mid-2021". Will update once order quantities are finalized and discussed with factories.

In-stock purchases with soldering kits:
They are wrapping up the packaging phase, and are preparing to ship. I apologize for the delay; getting them packed took a lot longer than we expected.

Extra parts in the future
Currently infeasible due to ridiculous intl shipping costs, but would like to at a later time.

GH GB thread:
I need to set this up asap.

will the groupbuy purchase allow one to change the shipping address before packing/shipping occurs? I am almost certain I will be moving early 2021 and wanted to make certain I could receive the package

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if we order an extra plate does it come with extra gaskets?

I switched color using the google form after the purchase.
Is there an order check spreadsheet to verify ?
