Title: LaserBoost. New Keyboard Plates Library - OPEN SOURCE.
Post by: laserboost on Sat, 20 October 2018, 05:44:53

LaserBoost here again! Totally in love with all keyboard community supporting us via blogs & instagram :)

Our main mission is to make laser cut metal parts more accessible to everyone, especially to the communities that help us to being better and get bigger.

We have some great news, and maybe this will be interesting for the keyboard community:



OPEN SOURCE KEYBOARDS PLATES LIBRARY.

Yes. Finally. But we could never have done this alone. LaserBoost, in collaboration with true mechanical keyboard experts, introduce the Custom Mechanical Keyboard Plates service.

This service offers an open source repository of some of the most commonly used mechanical keyboard plates, ready to download or order, validated by real mechanical keyboard enthusiasts and 100% lit. All plates in one place.

You also have available the classic LaserBoost service, where you can get your CAD plate file cut in high quality metals.

oh my goodness, this is such an awesome idea. I wonder how a copper plate would sound. Do you have pics of the galvanized steel plates? They look badass. Best of luck with this!

I just wanted to vouch for Laserboost.  I recently ordered two custom cut plates from them, and they came out perfect.  The finish was great, and the cuts were clean and accurate.  Even shipping from Europe to the USA was reasonable.  I'm building one board right now, and will snap a couple of pics tonight to upload. 

I'm making a few more plates for a custom PCB I'm having made, and will definitely use them again.
