One thing we spotted is that our plates do hot have countersunk screw holes and this is generally not advisable as it adds cost and weekens the plates, especially with carbon fibre.
Instead i have the ISO code for the screws that the PIZZA is supplied with and i will be including screws with a non countersunk head that will work perfectly.
Hey all, after joining the PIZZA65 GB myself i immediately started working on getting some carbon fiber plates made for a couple of funky SMK65 PCB builds. I’ve run a couple of GBs for KBDfans 8x and 67 plates in CF with the same manufacturer and it’s allways been fast, high quality and i’ve recieved loads of very happy customer feedback.
Check out a few pics from a previous KBDfans plate GB here https://imgur.com/a/cgcA5Gy
So i thought i’d offer you the opportunity to jump in on this little plate IC. The target is start of Jan for the GB to commence with a two week window for orders. Manufacturing will be approx two weeks and about the same for shipping. ETA on orders recieved by customers would be mid Feb.
As well as offering the plates in woven carbon fiber i’d also like to hear if there’s much interest in blank FR4 plates for those who just love the thock!
In addition to the support offered by the PIZZA65 PCB i have also built in a little additional bottom row support for the full plate.
This gives you some nice split space options for PCBs like the KBD67 MKII PCB etc
Prototypes have already been made and i’ve shipped one of each to the Pizza guys. Awaiting feedback and photos as we speak.
The IC form is now closed
Plate layout options are as follows:
Fixed ANSI half plate with the below layout compatability

Fixed ISO half plate with the below layout compatability

Universal full plate with the below layout compatability

Heres a sample pic of the fixed ISO option and my own fixed ISO full plate, just to see examples of the work.

Here’s a pic of the materials i’ll be offering
