Greetings, and welcome back to my group-buy. I’m arranging
to have made (using Litster’s .dxfs intended for 5mm
acrylic) ergodox cases.
You can see my faulty camera
revealing the results
here, which shows the spacers (dicussed in a moment) a couple
of times, or there’s some good pictures from the
first
time I did this that had better lighting.
(tangentially
related, non-GH links ahead)
Since they’re
too thin
by themselves, you’ll need some sort of spacer. JDcarpe has
drawn up a spacer, and that is what I reference in this
group buy … but there are
alternatives
if you just want the metal case, now.
(/end tangent)
One
of the major advantages of this case, is the plate: you can
use plate mounted switches, and they ‘ snap‘ into
place just like they’re designed to. The disadvantage is you
may find you’ve developed a
bit of a breeze. (oystein.krog’s Round-one case; same as what you’ll get
in this round but he’s used M3 nuts as spacers).
We’ve
seen some ALPS .dxf designs, and I snagged the one that was
spoken of as used-and-working. There’s a bit of a
programming charge for cutting in a different pattern, but
if you know you want that instead, I’ll tack on an extra $2,
or if you want both plates I can do that too for an extra
$10 in aluminum, or an extra $18 in stainless steel (almost
positive on that front. If there’s interest I’ll verify with
the shop).
Assumptions on the order form: That you want
a case in 16 gauge (1.5mm / 1/16ths-inch). That you want
both left and right hand, and of the same metal. That if you
get the spacer kit, you want it to be of the same metal as
your case. That you want eight layers to your spacer kit to
go with the five of the case itself.
I’m flexible on most stuff I just need to know what to
tell the machine shop to cut
so if you know you want something else, put it in the
comments. If you don’t know what you want but think you want
it, let’s discuss it here.
Prices on the form include
domestic paypal cut but not shipping. I’m going to use the
flat-rate-medium for stainless, and for orders of two cases
+ spacers or three aluminum cases. Figuring in something for
packaging that’s $13, or potentially less if you’re closer /
buying less. international buyers are
warned about shipping weights: I don’t know what exactly it
will work out to, but if with-packaging crosses that magic 4
pound line, the flat-rate boxes tend to cost upwards of $65.
There’s some hoops I can jump through (flimsy envelope,
packing peanuts) but postage has been the detail with the
most devils on previous runs.
ORDER FORM LIVE
and accepting your input now.
EDIT: some of you might
want to see the prices before pretending to order, hmm?
I
actually intended to include this last night …
After
paypal, but before shipping:
More
aluminum stainless $39 $66.25 (Classic case) $15.20 $29.20 (Minimalist) $22.50 $43.75 (Ext-minimal) $38.25 $76.15 (8-layer spacer kit) $42.75 $72.75 (Full hand case) $16.60] $32.50 (FH minimalist) $$24.50 $48 (Fullhand extended minimalist)
Historical content hidden. They’ve nearly doubled the price
– classic case, ten layers in aluminum will be $52, $105 in
stainless – again that’s before shipping, which thankfully
hasn’t been spiked. Yes I know you’ve paid already but now
they’re altering the deal pray they dont alter it any
further.
Ante up or back out? Since prices are changing
I’d like an answer on this soon.

So, since the cases seem to be languishing: What do you guys think about adding phantom ANSI-150 plates? Sixteen gauge stainless, probably $35 / ea + shipping. If all you’re getting is a plate I’d have cheaper ways of shipping it to you.
