The intro
This is a group buy for ANSI
125 stainless steel uTKL plates. I’ve been wanting one for
my Filco for a while now but got tired of waiting so I went
out and found a local metal fabrication shop with a 5KW
laser cutter that is willing to cut the plates from 16 ga.
304 stainless steel.
The plate
This is for ANSI 125 plates ONLY. I’m sure a lot of
people are going to want other kinds of plates and if
everything goes well enough with this initial GB I will
likely do a second round and open it up to other plate
designs.
This plate should fit TKL boards from
Filco, QFR, Ducky, Phantom, PLU87, and possibly even a few
others and will allow for switch top removal. Based on the
CAD drawings (thanks jdcarpe!) I’ve sent to the metal
fabricators, the final product should look just like
this.
The orders
There is a MOQ of at
least 36 plates for this to go to production. Cost per plate
is $35. CONUS shipping is $6. International shipping is $25.
Plates will be shipped via USPS flat rate envelopes for both
domestic and international orders. I should be able to get a
maximum of 2 plates per shipping envelope. If >4 plates
I’ll use a USPS flat rate box.
Pricing:
$35 per plate
CONUS

Payments will be collected via PayPal and
all payments should be made in USD. Payments will be due
within 72 hours from the time you receive the invoice.
Orders will close a few days after we hit the 36 plate MOQ.
Invoicing will start pretty much immediately after that.
I
will also accept BroBots as payment
The fine print
I’ve never
worked with this metal shop before so I’m not giving any
estimates on lead times before I have the plates in hand or
final quality. However, they are a very big, very well-known
metal fabrication business that even does work for the US
military so I’m going to assume the final product will be of
sufficient quality and should be completed relatively
quickly once production starts.
The metal fabricators
have stated that the plates will have production markings
(slight scratches and scuffs) so dont expect an art piece
with a mirror finish. If you’re going to be using costar
stabilizers you will likely have to
file down small sections of the plate
where the stabilizers clip in for proper fitment.
The order form
