Crappy plate render:
(http://i.imgur.com/5R633T7.png)
Expected price: $29 + paypal fees + shipping
Since they should fit in a flat rate envelope, shipping will likely be $6 for Flat Rate + additional if you want added cardboard or a thin wood shim. Shipping is subject to change, but I don't expect higher that $15 on the absolute high side.
File belongs to JDCarpe and this is a non-profit buy (unless JD wants a little $$ for his services).
Quotes are at 10 units in T-304 16 gauge (0.06in) stainless steel and will likely go down. The local quotes I've gotten so far came back at $21.50 per plate for laser cut and $29 for waterjet cutting at 10 units. I'm waiting to hear back from the others. I'm partial to waterjet over laser.
Price does not include Paypal fees or shipping fees. Since this is a non-profit buy and I expect low numbers, I am not going to add any kind of GB fee, though I may ask for small donations if there's an unexpected added cost.
This is perfect for someone wanting to direct wire an Alps board or for someone who got into Hasu's Alps 60% or expects a round 2.
This will be a quick buy. Orders will close the second week of May and the waterjet place claimed a one business week turn around, so it should be in the mail by the end of May.

Any chance to get also one with the Dell layout ? I would be in for one so I don't have to butcher my Dell keyboard for the plate.
If someone is willing to make a template for the plate and you can get 10 people on board I can do another run for that after this is done.
Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 29 April 2015, 16:22:38
I'm also leaning toward the laser cut over waterjet since it's about 30% cheaper.
And I know I originally said the second week of May, but I'm looking to expedite it and get it going next week. I'll be paying out of pocket to make it quicker, so I would appreciate a quick turnaround with invoices when I send them out.

Yeah, I was going to count you and mashby in the numbers anyways since I know you're both good for it. I'll probably be getting 20 so there are some extras.

Not yet. If it does go again, there should be a few extras and I can always run it again.

If you make the holes slightly longer than the standard Alps plate spec, you can get them to clip in pretty well, but if you make the holes tight, then you’ll end up stressing and possibly breaking the little plastic clips, especially if the switches are later removed to use in another context.
Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 01 May 2015, 23:04:43
On the other hand, most the MX plates I've measured are ~0.06" thick.
Right now we're sitting at 20 plates if I count mashby who isn't in the form yet.

I plan on going with the cheapest shipping you are comfortable with. So far the options appear to be the following:
- Priority Mail Flat Rate Padded Envelope (https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?categoryNavIds=shipping-supplies%3afree-shipping-supplies&categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=0&productId=P_EP14PE&categoryId=free-shipping-supplies) or Tyvek envelope (https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?categoryNavIds=shipping-supplies%3afree-shipping-supplies&categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=0&productId=P_MILI_PAC&categoryId=free-shipping-supplies) - should be about $6 within the US
- Priority Mail Regional Rate A Box (https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?categoryNavIds=shipping-supplies%3afree-shipping-supplies&categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=14&productId=P_RRB_A2&categoryId=free-shipping-supplies) - varies based on distance, but for a rough idea, it calculates as $5.50 within California and $10 to New York.
- Medium Flat Rate Box (https://store.usps.com/store/browse/uspsProductDetailMultiSkuDropDown.jsp?categoryNavIds=shipping-supplies%3afree-shipping-supplies&categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=0&productId=P_O_FRB2&categoryId=free-shipping-supplies) - about $12
There are potentially other cheaper options like parcel select, but they have no tracking and no insurance.
I'm not too late, am I?
No, the 25 plates includes a few extras that I'm paying for out of pocket, but it closes tomorrow.

Hey nubbinator where did you get the measurements for the holes on the plate? I could use those numbers for a case I'm working on.
I designed the plate for the buy, but I believe this is what you're looking for:
As a starting point for a discussion, I believe this to be the canonical set of dimensions for a 60% board.Show Image(https://www.dropbox.com/s/evxj6fyebcjbi8y/Screenshot%202014-12-17%2020.49.03.png?dl=1)

Actually JD, that drawing seems to be missing some key dimensions, namely:
- The precise X,Y location of the DIP switch pocket
- The Y locations of the two topmost holes (the ones with the 24.8 and 25.4 X dimensions
I'm guessing the DIP switch pocket shares its left X dimension with the centerline of the hole directly above it, and its Y is central to the plate. If that's true, and if the two topmost holes share the same Y dimension, then that would tell me everything I need to know. But if you have precise numbers it would be good for me to be sure before hitting go on a CNC machine!

Yeah. The plates should be ~$21 after tax (I calculated $20.84) + shipping + $0.30 PayPal flat fee +2.5% PayPal fee. I'm still figuring it the best shipping method, but it should end up being $28-35 total for a single plate shipped within the US. I'm holding off on invoicing until I know for sure on shipping method.

Metalliqaz sent his epsilon with cardboard protecting the plate and PCB and then in a flat rate box. I think Tyvek envelope + Cardboard + bubble wrap will be fine.
I might be able to send them in regional boxes for the same price or less, but the Tyvek envelopes may work too, I'm just concerned about the size. I'll figure out the best and cheapest after I have one on hand.

Saw plate sample today. Popped switches in and stabilizers. All seemed good. There was some dross on the bottom and I wasn't happy with it, but he said there's an option that should take care of that, I just have to wait on a quote. If it's $1-2 I'll add it, otherwise, I'll see if I can clean the plates up easily myself. The top was fine though, just some dross on the bottom.Scotch Brite will clean off anything. But it's some elbow grease.

As such, it looks like I'll be doing some clean up on them myself. I will not be charging for the clean up if I do it, but if you want to give a little extra for it when the time comes, I would not be opposed.
Post by: nubbinator on Fri, 05 June 2015, 20:13:03
They finished one of the plates, so I'll take a look at it and see how it looks and get a price estimate of it. If it's a couple of dollars more, I'll go ahead and get them all finished, unless someone has an objection.
I'll be heading in on Monday to pick them up.

Where are you getting the stabilizers for this plate? Is the only option to harvest OG AEKII boards?
Old Alps boards, old Omron boards, anything that used the same style of stabilizing clip. Some Alps boards used a stabilizer closer to Costar, but most used the same old style.

This is a plate they did what they called line finish or line something on. I'm supposed to get a quote, but they said it shouldn't be more than a couple of dollars a plate. I wasn't happy with how they looked without it, so I'll be getting all the plates finished that way so long as it's reasonable.
So, with that said, since I was naive and thought the a finish like that was included in the price, I'll eat the cost as long as it's no more than $2-3 a plate. If you are willing to pay for the finish, it would be greatly appreciated but not necessary since it was my naive mistake. I'll include my Paypal email in the invoice if you decide you would like to reimburse me for the finish.

When will invoices be sent out?
As soon as I have all the plates in hand and shipping cost calculated. The current timeline I was given by the laser cutter is that I'll have them on hand Monday or Tuesday and, if you pay by Friday the 19th, they will be shipped on Saturday the 20th. I was hoping this would be done already, but things have been a lot slower than expected from the timelines I was given (3-4 days to cut turned into two weeks).
And if anyone wants White Alps or Dampened Cream Alps and is willing to pay an extra $5-10 in shipping, I can include an FK-2001 (2 on hand) or AEK II (1 on hand) PCB/plate.

If you are international, I'm invoicing for the estimated shipping cost for First Class International which, hopefully, shouldn't increase when I go to ship. If I need to buy new packaging, I may have to add a little more to the cost. International may get a little cheaper to ship if you're willing to risk a Tyvek envelope and cardboard on either side of the plate. I'm also including the Paypal international currency conversion fee. If you have US funds you can transfer, let me know and you may save a dollar or two.

I still have a few outstanding invoices and one person who has not responded as to whether they're US or international. If there are any left over, I'll PM you. Shipping to Canada should be in the $10-15 range via First Class International.
As for the outstanding invoices, I plan on offering the orders up for others to claim if they're not paid by this coming Friday (June 26).
That sounds great; thank you!

I should also say that I bought two for some reason. I only want one now. I'd sell my extra one at cost + shipping. Please PM me if interested.
You bought two because Alps is life.

I forgot to add a "thank you" to nubbinator running this even if I screwed up and didn't get to participate.

Regret? Nah. I think I'm set. Happy to support the buy and share the love. I can't hoard all the Alps goodies.
hoarding? you mean people hoard stuff?? Wow, I never would have guessed. No comments about my basement, now - that would be rude! :)

FYI the plate doesn't seem to be compatible with the Pure Limited Aluminum Case. It's a tiny tad too big
Oh no, that is really bad news! I wonder if it'll fit in the Pok3r case, since they're similar in design?

That's strange...in which dimension? I'm pretty sure I used my other existing 60% plate drawings as a template.

This is an issue I've had before with trying to fit a Poker II into a Pure case as well, the issue is in the R1-R5 Dimension. It should fit in most other 60% cases though.

Well, stainless is pretty forgiving, and there should be enough material there if you want to have a go at it with a grinder. You can probably remove enough material to make it fit. I have one of those cases, but to be honest, I've never tried fitment with one of my plate designs before.

That Pure case must be really small.

I heard mention that there would be an SGI plate buy sometime soon and that JDCarpe might be designing it. I don't want to miss out! Where will it be announced?
+1 I thought he said it would be a At101 plate, but I would be down for either.

Sorry I think he did say at101 but the layout is identical to the sgi I believeI heard mention that there would be an SGI plate buy sometime soon and that JDCarpe might be designing it. I don't want to miss out! Where will it be announced?

Yep, Imgur title says Alps 60% AEKII and Granite Pure. Threw me off, too, the first time I saw it.

I played around with one of my plates. Still not sure how I feel about it:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/uFl9DWV.jpg)
Crazy!! Insanely beautiful! ;)
I imagine, Oneday I might type on this plate like a buddhist monk hitting a wooden bell to get an enlightenment to nirvana.

Are there any of these plates still available? I'd love to do an AEK2 60%
No, but this IC may interest you (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74524.0). Another Alps 60% buy is in the works, and there's a possibility that we may have a choice between AEKII and Dell AT layout plates.
