Title: XD75 Custom plate.
Post by: Sup on Mon, 08 April 2019, 16:24:01

I have been looking for a XD75 Plate but KPrepublic is sold out and it seems that it will take 25 days to restock. But you know i am that impatient since all the parts are coming next 2-3 weeks or so i don't feel like waiting 25 days for restock and a other 2 weeks for shipping. So why not make a plate and let it be made by a other company in brass maybe :D.

So here is what i got quickly with using online tools like keyboard layout editor and builder.swillkb.

The DXF file is attached to this post if you want to take a look at it you can download it. Also i don't know if the measurements are right and this is the first time i am going for something like this and you clearly see it's missing some mounting holes why no idea. Anyone help a dude out   :)

If I hadn't sold my XD75 then I could laser cut that DXF and test it for you very quickly lol

I think it would be a good idea to even keep the screw holes which are incompatible with the GH60. You can then screw some PCB spacer of the right length on the back. They won't be connected to the case but still be able to absorb downward force.
