Right now I'm finding supplier willing is willing to make the plates for us. So far, I'm sending them the ergodox litster case as the test and see how much they wanna quote for that. If they're not too expensive, we can start thinking about making our own MKBs!

Serious? If it look something like the ones from here then Im in. Need to support you guys!

He makes his own designs. Can try to get his expertise in design then we start our own designs. Full credit to ourselves.

More likely a lightsaver-ish design with maximum flexibility for the PCB.

Case would be based on what users actually want.

Pcb is the issue I guess. Need someone familiar with pcb tech and design. As for led i manage to get fn layer to work, and can adjust that for whole mkb led.

Only that all layer fn led burned after few days except capslock, all with 330ohm resistor. Maybe serial + parallel connection requires different resistor placement/power.

Teensy 2.0 and Teensy++ 2.0 are here.

Gonna be a couple of months before I can really start messing around with it.

On the other hand, acrylic cutters seem to be gone, so it's back to square one for the case.

I've manage to get my case into production today, the total price was RM141.50 (1.5mm aluminium top, 1mm bottom, 3x3mm acrylic layer in the middle) at SC lasercut. If you find other company quotation quite high, try Sc Lasercut because seems like that the cheapest company I can find so far. But have to go there directly because they seems to be slow in replying email.

Is the price with the materials? Or just the cutting price?
