Hello
My brass plate is getting gnarly. I asked Yuktsi for the file, and he sent it to me. I only have the plate file.
Pricing is looking like about $50, but I am talking to other manufacturers to try and lower the price.
Please let me know if you are interested, I will try and get this going soon.
Thanks,
P
nice

I have another alice coming in December (hopefully) and would love to try a poly plate.
A half-plate poly / brass plate would be great too! ;D
no half plates, im cad impaired and lazy
Any chance we could also get PCBs? I know he posted the files but I wouldn't be able to do anything with them. I would love some extra pcbs. Haha
that's a sam question not a puddsy question
i don't know the first thing about getting PCBs manufactured
Good idea Puds
Polycarb pref.
thanks

No worries. I'm in for this either way. Thanks!
i will say i'd probably buy a second pcb if they were offered
i like to have spares
maybe one in a funny color
i'll investigate this for you actually im into this now
don't set your expectations very high tho

Two new fabs have been contacted with requests for quotes (and a possible third has been found), and I will update the thread as more info comes in.
LightningXI has been very helpful (did all the groundwork) in finding me fabs that have a few options for materials.
Right now, it's looking like there will be polycarb plates for sure, and CF plates will be a smaller component of this GB since I am a big fan of them. Depends on pricing, they might not get run at all.

cant make a plate off that mate
also moqs are a concern here so might not be possible
There is no option to select both PC and CF in the form - when if both run I’d like to grab them....

Carbon fiber may also potentially be an option, but it might prove too expensive.

i took off some more caps and i kinda regret it
this is super gross
don't mind the hair
but it's all oxidation

One extra request: Clear not frosted, please, with the big gaps on this board it'd be rad to see through to the PCB.
Anyway, in for poly, not for CF.
Post by: Puddsy on Fri, 30 November 2018, 18:26:45
Poly plate is exactly what I've been wanting since the start. I actually enquired at a few places myself but with no luck. I have a spare (purple!) PCB and an acrylic plate ready to use in lieu of a polycarb one being available. Might attempt to dremel the acrylic into a half plate if I know I can get a poly one on the go.

I was hoping for clear, and I think it's cheaper. How'd you get a spare PCB? Just message yuktsi?

I wonder how that happened to your plate. I'd be in for a clear PC plate.
I talked to Sam about it, the short version is that the coating on the plates is thinner than the coating on the weights (hence why my weight is fine), so my overhandling of the plate may have worn off some of the coating. Could also have come from me rubbing it on something mildly abrasive (which makes a lot of sense considering I built it in a fab shop at my college). That, plus the humidity in my room, makes for this weirdness. I could clean it up with some brasso, but I don't really feel like doing that every month that I'm here. Easier to just get a PC or CF plate.
He prolly ordered an extra from the GB
oh tru

The purple ones were protos he decided not to go with for the GB, I'd just seen a pic of one he posted on insta or something ages ago and asked for it when I ordered. Pretty sure there aren't any more of those but I don't know about the regular green ones. Worth asking I guess.

it's looking like PCBs are a no-go since we aren't ordering enough to get the price down, but i might offer blanks, we'll see
gotta talk to sam about it

Greypunk is stalled mostly due to me not wanting to run another keyset GB, and my board is in progress but not nearly ready for IC, let alone GB. Soon, though. I think I'll try and get greypunk going again after this is done. There are a lot of good keyset GBs planned for early next year though, so I might defer responsibility to someone else for it.

I haven’t built my board yet. Should I just wait for this?
Your plate looks pretty gross, and I really don’t want to desolder since I usually start ****ing things up
Would base your decision on which plate material you'd prefer tbh. I wouldn't expect every brass Alice plate to look like as skanky as Puddsy's.

Could also go for some Polycarb wrist rests.
Anyone tried putting any sorbathane between the plate and PCB? Curious what that would do the acoustics.

If the new place is no good, it's likely that the only option will be clear polycarb, which sucks since I really want to do carbon.

40 people for polycarb
15 for carbon (so that's probably not happening)
5 put alu in for "other"
and 2 for POM
so looking like polycarb only for now, but i'll still keep an eye out for a carbon manufacturer
