The intro
I’m starting this thread to
gauge interest in 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
For now, this is an interest check in 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 one 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 them,
the final product should look just like this.
The orders
There would be a MOQ
of at least 36 plates. I’m still working on nailing down a
final price but I was
tentatively aiming for a flat cost
of $40 out-the-door shipped anywhere in the CONUS.
At
this point I’m mainly just trying to get shipping and
handling costs figured out. This cost could potentially go
up depending on final product weight/cost coupled with
whatever material I end up using to ship with the plates to
make sure they don’t get damaged during shipping
(fiberboard? cheap plywood? corrugated cardboard?). Current
estimate for international shipping is + $25.
The fine print
I’ve never worked with this metal shop before so I
can’t even begin to estimate 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.
It’s
entirely possible this could go nowhere due to lack of
interest or if something were to fall through on my end or
the manufacturing end. For the time being, I’m not going to
be doing anything other than taking preliminary order counts
to see if we have enough interest to pull this off. If it
seems like there is going to be enough interest for this to
work, I will start a proper GB thread in the GB
sub-section.
