Unfortunatley today, I lost my phone in a tragic (completely my fault and not at all tragic) incident. What was suppose to be a build log of everything that went into completing this Unsaver is now nothing more then a couple of nice final photo's with me tablet. Still, a couple of things.
1) Thanks to Cindy/Elecplus so much for helping me get one of these, prioritizing me and generally just being an awesome person. You just keep on keeping on.
2) Yes, an Unsaver, to Australia.
3) Thanks Deskthority for Existing. I would like to believe that this Unsaver has gone back to someone who indeed would look after it, I am going back to silently stalking now.

Sell? No. I am the person who believes that will take good care of this. Darn Australian way of communicating is barely understandable to the rest of the world.

It would be great if you let us know how you have treated the case with the plastidip paint, I mean the entire process.

Well after cleaning with a scuff pad and your favourite de-greaser, you wipe thoroughly with methylated spirits, skimcoat any cracks (even caulking will work). Now that the prep work is done it just a matter of spray, and wait, and spray, and wait, and spray, and wait, and spray, and wait, and flip, and spray, and wait, and spray, and you get the idea....just...time consuming....so very time consuming...

That is exactly why it is time consuming...Is the waiting...and waiting... Plus to get the nice texture you have to spray the plastidip in thin layers

Very nice. I agree, though, that you should take it apart one more time and get photos of those internals.
My own desire for an Unsaver has been sated by the prospect of soon having proper, full metal FSSK/FEXT internal assemblies, but it sure is a nice looking keyboard.

Jim has a new name for the unsavers. He calls them kryptonite boards, or Superman's nemesis, because of the weight
