[ALL SHIPPED] PHANSI150 Plates - Stainless Steel - SOLD OUT

[bavman]

Its so temping! But its useless without a pcb lol....I would even run the GB if someone will design it

[DanGWanG]

The PCB design is already done.  Try talking to litster to see if you can get the schematics for it to run another small GB.  All I did was ask for lit's permission and he was on board =)

[bavman]

Ugh fine...you win again dan...I'll take one

I'll shoot him a pm and see if he'll be kind and share with us

[jdcarpe]

I already paid, but I'll take another one if there are some leftover. I want everyone who wants one to get one first.

[DanGWanG]

You can buy 2 or more.  There isn't an exhausting number of people who have been wanting these =)

[Acetrak]

Paid and YGPM

[WhiteFireDragon]

Note:  The 4 stabilizer switches (Shifts, Enter, Backspace), excluding spacebar, have issues with removing the switch top housing.  This is inherent from the original PHANSI150 design.

Dan, the mod is pretty simple. Just file the upper corners of the 4 switches holes. It takes like 10 minutes if you have a dremel. Since this poker plate is an exact copy of the phantom design, the same thing should apply:

just wondering
can i mod the quickfire rapid TKL to put this plate?

What are you looking to get out of this plate? Your CM already has a steel plate. It's impossible to make this work with CM quickfire because modifer sizes are different. You need to drill holes in the PCB to match the plate, and those exact locations already has electrical traces.

Thanks for the video WFD =)  I'll put it in the OP.  Since mine's already on my Phantom, I'm too lazy to make the adjustment myself

[fruktstund]

Wait what, is it possible to use Cherry PCB mounted stabilizers on a plate?

[SmallFry]

PAID! Thanks again Dan!

[DanGWanG]

Wait what, is it possible to use Cherry PCB mounted stabilizers on a plate?

I don't think you can on the Phantom plate design.  I had to use Cherry plate mounted stabilizers on mine.  Even the Costar ones are a pain in the ass and may not even work...

I used PCB mount ones to test my poker and it worked just fine. The trick is to install the PCB stabilizers then the plate.


Also, Costar worked on the two plates I tested and weren't hard to install at all

[SmallFry]

Does the Phantom even support PCB stabs?

[demik]

Does the Phantom even support PCB stabs?

yes

[SmallFry]

PCB Cherry Stabs?

[The_Beast]

PCB Cherry Stabs?

Is there any other kind of PCB mounted stabilizer?

[TheProfosist]

Doesnt remeber seeing holes on the pcb for cherry pcb stabs but might be wrong....

[demik]

scratch that, not pcb mounted.

[SmallFry]

OK thanks demik. So CoStar or Cherry Plate mount stabs...

[demik]

yes sir

[TheProfosist]

Where can u even buy cherry plate mount stabs i know where to get pcb mount...

[alaricljs]

Mouser has 74 2x left as of now.  I don't know anywhere that has 2x PCB on hand today.

[The_Beast]

It should have PCB mount holes since it didn't require a plate to begin with

[alaricljs]

Wha?  which board are you talking about?

[jdcarpe]

The stabs mount to the PCB, and go thru the holes in the plate. Right?

[alaricljs]

That's how most Korean boards do it... but they have the hole in the plate sized for it.  I don't know how tight the plate mount hole is compared to that.

[The_Beast]

The poker plate I made works with PCB mount stabilizers

[fruktstund]

Mouser has 74 2x left as of now.  I don't know anywhere that has 2x PCB on hand today.

So they do carry plate mounted stabilizers after all? Could you please give me a link?

And of course, after having read what you guys have written I realized PCB mounted ones won't work since the Phantom PCB doesn't have anywhere to place the stabilizers... Well, at least not to my knowledge.

[SmallFry]

I have issues with mouser links

http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Cherry-Electrical/0G990224/?qs=%2fha2pyFadui%2ff77L2%2f6q1E9TeTSTHkqalUnHyJbKl9I%3d

just search for G990224 if it doesn't work

Sent via PM to me

[WhiteFireDragon]

Seems like there are some confusion about plate, PCB, and stabilizer compatibility. Any plate that can accept plate-mounted cherry stabs will also work with PCB-mounted cherry stabs because it just slides through the plate hole, nothing is actually mounted on the plate. For this specific case, this is irrelevant though because this plate ONLY works with phantom PCB and nothing else. Since phantom PCB does not have holes to mount the PCB-mounted cherry stabs, you HAVE to use costar or plate-mounted cherry stabs.

I can verify that those are indeed 2x plate mount stabs and come with all the plasticy bits and 2x wires. I ordered the same mouser part for my phantom. You are still going to need to bend your own space-bar wire though, but it isn't too hard if you have time and patience (and wire).

[fruktstund]

Thank you SmallFry!
I searched for it for quite a while on Mouser's website but couldn't find it, so that link makes it much easier. Would've ordered some instantly if they hadn't that 20€ shipping. Luckily enough I'm able to solve this in different ways!

It's a bit funny you can't seem to find these in Europe though. :>

[damorgue]

And that they sell the small ones but not the space bar ones, especially since Cherry are from Germany..

does this mean i can use plate mount cherry on my KMAC and its friends the KPAD and KMini?

[Findecanor]

Also, you can't anodize stainless steel so you have to either powder coat, spray paint or use electrostatic paint to change it's color.

You could ask a blacksmith or gunsmith to have it oil quenched or blued.

Blued steel > black-anodized aluminium, in my opinion. That is the process used on guns.

Oil quenching is much cheaper. It is the process used for black nuts and bolts.

[alaricljs]

No, The holes on Korean boards don't have all the extra stuff to deal with plate mount.  The holes are just rectangles rather than the complicated  design you see here.

well but o well now i dont have to go hunting down plate mount ones.

[DanGWanG]

Most plates have been packed and ready to ship.  I ran out of packing material last night, so a few people's will go out tomorrow.  I'm collecting more orders today and sending out any additional invoices tonight =)

[jdcarpe]

Its so temping! But its useless without a pcb lol....I would even run the GB if someone will design it

bavman,

If you're willing to run a GB for more PCBs, I'm definitely in for one. On a related note, bpiphany who designed the Phantom PCB told me that pcbwing has the Phantom PCB setup for him as a "speed order," or something like that.

[Acetrak]

Not to derail too much, but it'd be awesome if we can get a case GB going too

[DanGWanG]

Not derailing at all =)  People need these plates if another PCB GB is going to be run, amirite?

[TheProfosist]

nope they all need my plate to achieve the best layout

[TheProfosist]

I also thought instead of rerunning the same PCB we were going to make some improvement possibly like make a v2.

[jdcarpe]

Maybe, but why wait for that if some people need them now. I've been asking for a Round 2 Phantom GB since I joined GH in March. If we could even just get another round of PCBs right now, we can source everything else.

Edit: I was also politely told to wait until the original GB was completed and check for a leftovers sale. AFAIK, the GB was completed when everything shipped this summer, and we sill have no leftovers sale.

I pm'd litster and he said he'll talk to whoever to see if we can do that. I'll definitely ask him about how we can use pcbwing too so we don't have to waste time.

[SmallFry]

That died off when the GH60 was picking up speed...

[jdcarpe]

That died off when the GH60 was picking up speed...

Yep. But I think we need both, Phantom and GH60. The only real improvements to the Phantom I could justify would be revising the PCB for SMD diodes and an integrated ATmega controller chip, like komar did with the GH60. Maybe holes for PCB mount switches and stabilizers.

[DanGWanG]

Guess I'll have to reserve myself an extra plate if you guys get that GB going =)  I don't think it'll be very expensive and MOQ likely won't need to be that high.

Those were the exact improvmnts I was thinking of also a nice case that can be available to everyone

One other thing that need to be fixed but is now thanks to hazu tranquilite and a few others was the cruddy firmware but like i said thats fixed

komar007 may be willing/able to make those changes quickly to the Phantom PCB, if someone wants to approach him about it. If he is even interested in the Phantom project. And permission from bpiphany to make those changes would be needed of course. I'd say Phantom rev 2.0 PCB GB is imminently doable, but it will require some coordinated efforts.
