Did #0006 get shipped? :O

Can I get an ETA on #0006? :3

What is the full list of key codes, like "LBRC,RBRC,BSLS" etc. that are available to send out? I'd like to try media keys in my layers. The names are not the same as Soarer's converter, which has its own list that I've used extensively.

Has nobody made further progress on their boards? We need updates here!

I finally got time, and proper weather, to take some outdoor pictures of my board, so I've updated my album; http://imgur.com/a/8J3Ej#YM19QOj

I didn't have any trouble with it, with some light blues. None of them got actuated, due to the weight distribution, as Matt3o mentioned. So I wouldn't worry about it. I did have some solders where I went above and beyond the time it usually takes for a joint.

Zifle, was your sides steel or alu? did you tap all the way through all the plates?

Thanks! No, just the bottom plate. And yes, the whole case is steel.

Excellent progress, Zifle! How did you thread the bottom layer? That looks like the way to go. :-)

Thanks, the threading was done manually, by my dad (while I was watching :twisted: ), like so: http://collections.infocollections.org/ukedu/collect/ukedu/index/assoc/gtz070ce/p05a.gif

It ...

That shiny plate looks awesome oO!

I've added a couple of pictures to my album, I've finished soldering up the board itself (and it works!), and just need to get the usb plug soldered on the end, and it's complete!

I have some pictures up here: http://imgur.com/a/8J3Ej

I got the base threaded, and everything fits together nicely! Now it's just a matter of putting it together ...

Ouch, that's a long wait. I guess I'll just reuse the switches I have, in the meantime, then

When are you expecting to receive the new batch of blues? Can't wait to receive my switches :3

That wouldn't be possible, unless you physically change the stem itself (eg., 3d print / mold new ones), as the reduction is done by keeping the clicker (white part) in place, and not allow it to move. With that said, jailhouses are highly variable, and can be done with or without click, depending ...

edit: Grrr pasph !

Jailhouse blues, so I have a lot of work ahead of me!

My plates just arrived, and everything seems to be perfect! I can fit my stabs without any issues, and there's space between the stab insert on the keycap, and the one on the plate.

I probably should have made the screw holes slightly bigger, as the screws have a hard time fitting in there, I'll ...

No need to do any work on mine, I was obviously expecting some manual labour! Thanks for taking your time to thoroughly check the layers!
I have a feeling it might be easier to make small adjustments to the stabilizers.

I must say that Zifle's is the cutest

imho, he did a big mistake in wanting the base 3mm steel. The holes are very close to the edges and they will be very hard to thread and almost impossible to line up. Maybe he can have it working with screws and nuts (not ...

They look awesome, can't wait to get my plates!

I wouldn't mind that, I won't receive my switches before late sept./oct. anyway, so it's not like it it'd delay my project.

:O!

PS: steel cuts are ready

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I paid 116€ just to be sure, so you're covered, Muirium

Paid!

I don't mind splitting evenly either, I suppose there wouldn't really be a significant difference in the individuals quote, if each paid for only his own stuff, regardless.

matt3o wrote:under my advice pasph reduced his order, but confirmed one board anyway.

I'll send the order tomorrow. Prepare your wallets.

It's been burning with temptation since yesterday! Oh shi-

Yep, I can confirm that mine is as it should be (when the plate is cut in 1.5 steel, I'm assuming you already made the modification in your local file).
I'll be looking forward to getting my wallet crushed tomorrow!

It looks as though my switch plate is in 1.5mm alu, when I wanted 1.5mm steel D:

Or am I confusing myself for someone else? (Can't dl/view the dwg at work, and I get off in 10 mins regardless. I'll confirm my layers when I get home)

matt3o wrote:you can have the steel plate, no problem with that since we already have the bottom in the same thickness (but you want it 3mm right?).

Yes, indeed, I'd want everything, but the switch plate, in 3mm.

I do hope as well, that neither of the others jump off. Have you tried contacting them directly?

My stance is the same as previously, I don't mind going alu for the sides, but my preference is in steel. In any case (haha), I'd prefer the whole board to be of the same material, so whether it be steel or alu, doesn't matter too much for me, but I'm certainly not frightened by the weight (that's ...

okay guys. the original plan was to use:

1 sheet of 1.5mm aluminum for the plates
1 sheet of 3mm aluminum for the sides
1 sheet of 1.5mm steel for the bases or plates

That would help reduce the cost. Basically we don't have 3mm steel sheet. If you really want it I can add a 3mm steel but that ...
