Title: Finding ALPS 60% PCB
Post by: db268 on Wed, 27 January 2016, 09:32:02
Where can I find an ALPS 60% PCB? I've missed the most recent GB for ALPS party  :-X

So, there isn't any online store/vendor/website I can get it from?

Unfortunately no. You can try contacting hasu if he plans on making anymore for another round. You can also watch the WTS threads, someone might want to sell one.

I asked BlueNalgene, no leftovers. :( Going to have to look to the used market for one!

So many people want this PCB .... a Round 2 would be nice.

I'm keeping an eye on WTS but I think it's hard to see any in the near future.

Yes. A Round 2 would be superb. Hopefully it will happen this year.

Actually, Hasu posted the link to his github where he has the design files. You could ask him for permission to use those files and get some pcb fabrication house to make some for you. I think in most cases you would have to print out minimum of 10, but then you could sell the other 9 to other members who have been dying to buy one.

Thanks for the idea. Or I might just make 10 boards  ;D

I would be interested in one as well. PM me if you decide to go through with this.

It seems like plates are easier to have made one-off than PCBs?

Hmm, I might have to talk with him.  I've been kind of craving making a 60% yellow alps board
