Hello GH,
I found a good way to water-cut shiny/polished brass plates here in Italy. I’m considering to start a GB for 60% plates since i can’t buy by myself the whole Brass sheet for only my plates.
For the 60% i was thinking of doing 2 versions:

  • ANSI (standard or multiple layouts) - the most important thing to me here is that every switch will clip correctly in the plate.
  • Universal - Including ISO, ANSI in multiple layouts, some switches will not clip so you might need some PCB mounted switches.
  • I can accept custom layouts as long as the person will provide a .dxf for it (i will not test your design, I will just cut it)
    Price should be (not sure yet) $30-35 for a 60% plate, not idea for custom layouts.
    Shipping is not included and i’m considering someone wiling to proxy this to US brothers, possibly a vendor or someone known.
    Please fill the form below if you might be interested or if you want to help me out to understand what you/other people want.

    Also, coating is planned but i have to discuss this with the producer
    Thanks :D

EDIT: for coating read here
EDIT 2: Added sample of brass
More




EDIT 3 (03-12-2017): Brass GB still happening, i had to change the producer for a better one so it toke time, hopefully the GB will start this week if everything goes well. Custom layouts confirmed, covered brass confirmed, previous price should be confirmed.
EDIT 4 (new producer): https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=91995.msg2540246/#msg2540246 Cut is laser, no longer water, cut on point, coat NOT on point (fixing coating is the goal now)
EDIT 5 : Got a lot of interest. Due me not having 2-3 weeks of free-time to handle GB and mostly shipping, the project is momentarily on hold, i won’t start anything if i can’t make sure that everything goes smooth, basically i can start this only when i have enough time to dedicate to the GB. Hopefully project will restart when possible.
