Hello,

If you want to know more about the FSSK and the FEXT refer to this thread: https://www.deskthority.net/viewtopic.p ... &start=690

I just login in PCBway and I the original FSSK and FEXT order remains for "reorder" :D
Running a new round of this GB comes with very little effort.
Functionality is guaranteed as these PCBs are in my main keyboard which I have used for 8+ years.

The source file for these PCBs can be found in the referenced post above in case you prefer to order yourself.

FSSK - If we order 50 the price would be $7 + shipping

Shall we run this GB again ?

Manufacturing cost + shipping will be 100% transparent.
Any contribution to the organiser of the GB will be feed into the FMF project.
The FMF project may lead to other GBs, so you would not be only getting the PCB but also opening the path to other projects.
Additionally, you will contribute to revive the good-old DT philosophy rooted in sharing (information and cost). You will help to bring back DT to what it was.


PD: when we succeed with the flippers and springs, this together with the Leyden Jar will allow to convert any model M into QMK+Vial model F !!!!!!!! We may also want to pack the kit together

Any comment is welcome

Cheers

Sounds very interesting. I'm in Europe though but if there ever manifests a complete kit to convert a Model M to an F I'd probably buy one if the shipping and duty costs aren't prohibitively expensive.

Hello,

I have purchased a number of FSSK and FEXT PCBs.
As usual, I will distribute them at cost.
Let me know if you need/want one.

Shipping will be from Germany

Cheers

I'd like to get one FSSK and one FEXT PCB. I'd really love to convert my DisplayWriter SSK and Industrial to F.

Being able to purchase full kits would be ideal for me, but the PCBs are a good start. I'll send a PM.

Sent a PM but it seems to be stuck on outbox. Either way count me in!

PMs remain in the sender's outbox until they are retrieved by the recipient.

Ah, I see. Well message sent then!

I was trying to answer idollar via PM regarding an FEXT PCB the last couple of days but DT always gives me "Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource." when I try to send a PM. I tried it with different browsers on different devices and networks. Does anyone else have this problem?

The website appears to show some erratic behaviour across different functions.
The PM page works for me.
Try again, perhaps from your dashboard instead of directly from idollar's post.

It looks to me like someone tried a ham fisted approach to dealing with spam or scraping of the site by limiting access to pages only if you come from certain pages on this site. My current workaround is to go to the Spy section first and then go to other parts of the site from there, which seems to work (at least for now).
