Title: [IC] Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: Smeagol_RP on Thu, 18 July 2013, 20:44:28

After a few requests of that acrylic wrist rest, I want to check with you guys if it's worth or not. In my opinion, the only problem is shipping those parts. But we can solve it. ;)

Prices:

60% (Tested with a Poker II)
1-9 = $25
10-19 = $20
20-30 = $18

TKL / Compact
1-9 = $30
10-19 = $25
20-30 = $22

Full size
1-9 = $35
10-19 = $30
20-30 = $27

You guys can chose what's the measurements of the wrist rest (that of the picture has about 115mm/4.5in). To personalize it with a sandblasting job, will cost plus $5 (I think it's worth).

Shipping costs (I'm in Brazil):

(http://i.imgur.com/7BpNG3e.png)

Yes, it's expensive. A good alternative is shipping a box with 5-10 parts to somebody and this "distributor" ship them individually. I can make individual packages so this person won't have to spend time packing everything. Of course, I need people to help me with this and the buyers will need to pay this other shipping to this guy.

And just to confirm, I don't work with it and don't intend to make money from it, but there's $1 included in each part to cover some costs. I'll have to "depilate" the plotter, take it for the sandblasting job, clean it and pack.

Estimated time? 5-7 days after payment. So, if you're really interested and agree with those values, post it and what's the size you want.

Thanks.

I personally don't care for one, I'm just here to say... I never thought acrylic could be so beautiful. Some of the pictures of other things like the mouse storage is just wonderful. Well done to the craftsman!

Would it be possible to get a 60% version without the area I have tried to show in the pic below?
Or maybe take a picture of it with your hands using the keyboard.... to show the scale?

1x - EU/60%/sandblasting

Length of the wrist-rest seems crazy, but I like it!

Sure. As I said, you can choose those measurements (okay, I said size :))). This one belongs to badcop:

Thanks man. I also thought like that 3 years ago until I asked for that HAF side panel. Check this:

I'd consider getting one if shipping wasn't so pricey :eek:

Title: Re: Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: domoaligato on Thu, 18 July 2013, 23:46:57

what is the measurement without the area I drew a box around? :)

edit: "To personalize it with a sandblasting job, will cost plus $5 (I think it's worth)."

Is this for the geekhack in the picture only or can we have anything sandblasted on it?

Title: Re: Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: gnubag on Fri, 19 July 2013, 01:19:27

If you need somebody distributing it in the US I can help.
(personally not very interested in these wrist rests though because I still have to upgrade my desk.)

also how are you going to do the cable/connector cut outs for tkl and full size keyboards since they are not always at the left like 60% keyboards.

Title: Re: Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: BlueBär on Fri, 19 July 2013, 03:28:43

I'm not 100% set on it (depends on some other expenses), but I'm interested in a 60% wrist rest.

Title: Re: Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: Poom on Fri, 19 July 2013, 03:38:06

in for one for the GH60, but dont have a case for it yet. so thicker cases might not fit yeah?

Title: Re: Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: BlueBär on Fri, 19 July 2013, 03:49:16

Good question, but since Smeagol said that you can choose the length of the horizontal part I guess you can choose the length of the part where the keyboard sits in as well?

Title: Re: Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: jdcarpe on Fri, 19 July 2013, 08:23:04

In for one. 60% with sandblasting. Can I send you an image file to be sandblasted onto it?

What kind of effect does sandblasting have on the acrylic?

That back "piece" has 293x30mm and the drilled box has 19x22mm. Sorry I didn't understand your question. :-X

You can choose whatever you want. Of course nothing obscene. I don't want to look like a dumbass when take it to sandblasting. :))

Easy, just drilling a hole. There're some different types of keyboards and USB ports. But you need to get me the exactly measurements. For example:

Yep, you're right. ;)

You mean visually or physically? Looks like a mirror after a hot bath. :)) It becomes a little bit rough. You can see it at those pictures.

Thanks. Sure, actually it's an "easy" plotter without too much details. If confirmed, you choose the place and measurements.

I'd in for a TKL and possibly a 60% too.

Consider me "interested" on a TKL in the USA. I'm currently juggling between keyboards and don't know what I'm going to end up with.

I am in for one 60% (poker) with a 6 cm wrist rest area
with the attached image sandblasted on it.
I have provided the image in svg and png

i guess that the shipping costs are a little overwhelming for some people (for 10rests it's about $6/ea and shipping to the individuals again)

i just picked mine up from the post office. great craftsmanship and it really confortable. much better than my filco rest.

thanks again for your generosity Smeagol_RP!!

How many do you need for a minimum order?

Title: Re: [IC] Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: Smeagol_RP on Fri, 02 August 2013, 13:14:38

There's no minimum quantity, but the price can change. Of course 5-10 parts to the same country would be worth. Otherwise it'll be too much expensive to ship it individually.

Title: Re: [IC] Custom acrylic wrist rest
Post by: gnubag on Sat, 03 August 2013, 01:48:02

just a quick suggestion:

if you can also offer dust covers for a decent price, people might consider it since I don't think that the shipping will go up much.

Count me in on this. I am desperately looking for a nice dust cover. There was an interest check for an acryilc one a year ago, but it was never made.

I won't sell those covers because since it's bended, it curves slightly. To get completely straight, only cutting and gluing.

Deixa eu economizar meu inglês. :))

Cara, a peça pode sair R$40 ou R$50 dependendo da quantidade. Pra mandar via PAC deve ser entre R$15 e R$18. Mas tô só repassando os valores. Pra ficar correndo atrás disso, só se for uma vez para mais gente. :(

Tried to help, but I can't do more than this. Sorry.
