Nice prices, but i think your plate is a bit wrong (at least on the sample).   Seems like you toke the swillkb file and cutted it. 


E.g. you have some holes for plate mounted stabs where you clearly can't use plate mounted stabs in that case (this only on the sample, not on the plate render)

Also the holes for the stab wire seems like 0.8-1mm on the render (?) which is the swillkb standard which is really the minimum.
Also 2, in both the render and the sample, since you are not offering a pcb,  you might want to add some more stab wire holes, e.g. look at the whole enter ansi/iso (e.g.dz60)

Changed the plate a little, and i will make the stab holes a little bigger

Will this have alps compatibility?

I can change the plate again to make it alps compatible

2mm imho is a good hole to allow a easy lube

Nooo! Please don’t. If you’re going to make it for Alps, please make a seperate plate.

I like solid plates. Your prototype’s switchtop removable option is good enough for me. If you make it for both Alps and Cherry, it’ll just be more Swiss cheese and less stability!

FYI the side "supports" don't support the switch with the H cutouts. Stability is not lost.

Just fixed the plate a little, and for the alps plate... i don't think its possible to make another one because it costs too much to only make 1-2 alps plate.

Seems good now, didn't checked the ISO enter but seems all on point  :thumb: 

What are the current numbers?

Nice job on the updated plate! ;)

Are aluminum plates still possible, or only Brass/Stainless Steel?

I said this before, but great job on such a beautiful design. This deserves a lot more attention, especially for the great price. If this hits 100 orders, it would make it an even sweeter deal for everyone.

Do you have any samples of the purple/blue anode?
