Author Topic: [GB] Z-Cases 60% Keyboard Cases (We're done fam) (Read 41924 times)

UPDATE: EU has shipped. Conus has shipped. Int are shipping soon.

Also I should note that we are no longer offering refunds at this time.

hello

groupbuy will be open for one week (saturday to saturday)

These cases are 3d printed by Ziptyze, and are of extremely high quality and durability, unlike some 3d printed things you might have seen before. The opaque cases absolutely pop with color, and the trans cases show light very well and look quite pristine.

Pricing will be as follows:
Normal-color Opaque: $40
Premium-color Opaque: $50
Natural (white) trans: $40
Colored trans: $50
Glow in the dark: $60
As a new extra option, you can add legs of any color to your case, as shown in this picture to your case for $15 extra. Note that you can cross types, for instance make a trans case with opaque colored legs, or something else like that.

refer to the pricing/color handguide to pick out colors and figure out the cost:

Shipping will be priced as follows:
CONUS shipping: $0
Europe shipping: $6+$3 per extra case
International: $10
Canada: $6
If you are making a large order (>10 cases), pm me and we can work out shipping.

Also added to price will be a ~3.5% paypal fee (invoices will be over paypal)

Expected lead time for under 50 cases is about 2-3 weeks of production. Cases are shipped out as soon as they are completed, so some will get theirs much sooner (see below to find out how you can do this).

HERE IS HOW ORDERING WILL WORK
Fill out the google form. It is not hard. If you need to make a change to your order PM ME, DO NOT SUBMIT ANOTHER FORM.

HERE IS HOW PAYING WILL WORK
You fill out the google form. At the end of the groupbuy period, I will begin invoicing everyone in the order that they submitted their order forms. As orders are payed for, cases will start being produced.

HERE IS HOW PRODUCTION WILL WORK
Orders will be fulfilled and shipped IN THE ORDER THAT THEY WERE PAYED IN. Orders will be invoiced in the order they were received, so if you want your order earlier, enter the groupbuy early, and pay promptly when you receive invoice! Most orders will not ship in time for christmas, but if you specifically need an order for christmas, please PM me and we can work something out to get you your stuff on time.

~~HERE IS THE ORDER FORM~~

Orders closed

Here is a sheet with the status of everyone's orders. You will not show up on the sheet immediately after placing an order, it is up to when I get around to it.

Testimony by Leandren about quality of these cases

Quote

The cases can be compared to wood in terms of the weight, there is almost no flexibility when purposely bending it. It feels sturdy and I am not able to bend it permanently. The texture is more matte than I thought. Not glossy. Feels more sturdy than all the plastic cases I have used before. Definetily a great product that exceeded my expectations by A LOT.
Fantastic product for the price

Here are some pictures of Ziptyze's previous work
please note that although I am showing some multi-color cases, multicolor is not an option in this groupbuy due to the amount of time required for production

Your best best is the opaque violet, but you will most likely not get an exact color match, so it may be more advisable to go for something complimentary. That said, the violet should actually come pretty damn close if I do say so myself.

I have one of his cases, as well as a b-stock case, and let me tell you, Ziptyze does not skimp on the quality. These are VERY solid cases, and although I'm not a 60% fan, I'm keeping mine around. I've found that they are nice and thick, and aren't lacking in support.

Also, would just the feet be available?

How would coloured LEDs look in a, let's say red, translucent case? Would it be purple, or just look weird?

I tried a bunch of different colors with my wkl in a green trans. For the most part it continued to look green. You could tell a little bit of a difference from one color to another, but not a ton. I imagine red would be similar, but I haven't tried red yet.

Without me using other materials, it's tough. PLA doesn't post process as well as other 3d printed materials. You can't acetone smooth it, and if you try to sand it, it mostly just flakes away. Eventually, I'd like to use ABS, which is much easier to post process, but I haven't had good luck with it so far

After reading through that thread, I'd say probably... However, if you get it, and it doesn't work, then I'll try to remake it if you can determine what's not fitting.

So we have decided to start invoicing everyone early to get things moving with production. Many of you will be invoiced by Ziptyze, so that he can get together the money to start ordering new materials. If invoicing you this early is a problem, feel free to just not pay the invoice until you are ready. ORDERS ARE STILL OPEN, so don't think that you can't order anymore just because people are being invoiced.

Thanks for the info. I am a bit of a 3D print noob but that all makes sense to me

It seems your products are good quality and you've picked up a lot of support in a relatively short period of time. Congrats!

Hi everyone, unfortunately we have just discovered that the supply company has literally just run out of stock on the trans violet plastic. The plastic will be restocked in about 4 weeks, so those who ordered trans violet have three options.
You may wait the 4 weeks and I can assure you that after that the cases will be produced and shipped as speedily as humanly possible.
You may PM me to cancel your order (or the part of it that included a violet case) and receive an immediate and full refund.
You may PM me to substitute something for the violet case in your order.
Very sorry to have hit a snag this early, unfortunately there was no way ziptyze could have foreseen this. Thank you for those who have entered so far, and keep in mind that orders are still open to all who wish!

Just curious since I see 3.5% PayPal fee being charged:

Has no one ever found out that you can send money for "friends and family"? This does not come with buyers protection but for most applications one doesn't need that anyway if you trust the recipient, and with that it only has 1% currency transfer fee (for me at least since $ is not my currency). Also the buyer pays that up front so the recipient gets the full amount selected.

Would that be any issue with you guys? Means you receive the exact amount (cases + shipping) and I take care of the fees myself beforehand.

Technically those " PayPal.me" links work that way until you check the box below that says something like this contains wares. LeandreN uses such a link, it should be familiar to most of you

We could do that, but it's kind of a pain in the ass to do organizationally because then we can't send exact invoices. The fees aren't above like $2 usually, but in the future I will be hosting groupbuys on my own platform without paypal, so there won't be any extra fees. If you have an issue with it this time, feel free to pm me and we can work something out.

As another update, we'll be invoicing all the europe orders so that we can get those ones moving. I know I said that things would be invoiced in the order that things were ordered, but because we're starting a bit early on the invoicing I'm taking the liberty of doing it this way to make things easier with the europe proxy. If anyone would like to be invoiced sooner or wait to be invoiced later, pm me just to let me know.

Just ordered a blue grey case. Hopefully it matches Alpine Winter! I kind of wanted to order another case and some legs, but the only reason I joined at all is because it's so cheap I can't pass it up, and ordering all that extra would have made it not so cheap.
