Im interested in a smaller case for the f62

Hey 'yall, I thought I'd post a few photos of my build from this group buy. I was planning on a phantom build, but figures that it was a great time to try handwiring. I think it came out great!

On another note: I'm not still interested in a phantom ...

RoostrC0gburn is organizing a phantom plate buy. See his post above

I'm grabbing one too

This is about as close as I can get you. Hope this is helpful

We are going to need a bottom as well. The extra distance between the f key row and number key row makes the plate taller. So the bottom plates we all have won't fit
OK ...

i realized that i may have completely misunderstood what you needed, keysmasher. i took some more measurements and pictures. hopefully this is more helpful?

not a problem Roostr. could you do me a favor and give me a measurement from center of the switch hole the edge of the phantom pcb on all sides? I want to make sure that I draw up a middle layer that wont interfere with the switches. I can send. If I can get those dimensions, I can finalize a cad ...

it sucks the phantom pcb won't fit. I'm glad I went with a GON pcb but I did want to build a phantom board as well. I went to the wiki and found the Phantom's plate cad drawing. the cad drawing shown is to fit a filco case. So I converted it to metric in CAD and I've drawn to match the same border ...

I was checking in on this thread and saw the alignment issues. So I checked my pcb and it is fine. I popped in a few switches too

Oh ya. Let's keep this thread going with our builds

Im thinking of getting mine coated with Cerakote. Anyone have experience with it?

Looks like your Gon pcb has its usb plug in a different spot. Could you measure center of the big hole to center of the usb connector?

Don't really understand what do you mean :( But if it's about sizing should be the same, just centered between F12 and Print Screen instead of between PrintSC and ...

I'm not sure where the usb port is located on yours. When you get it, take some measurements and pics.

Sure. It has been on Madrid (where I live) for a few days in customs... Hope it doesn't take long and I don't get charged for customs/fees
Well, this is just an idea, you could make multiple ...

Ok, first off thank you to wafflepc for getting me the cad file for the plate so we can get midsections made. Please let me know if I should create another thread for this. It may start to get too convoluted as one. Attached is a prelimanry drawing. I could use some feedback please as to thickness ...

I'll let you guys know when I get the file from wafflpc.

PM me if you want to use it for the mid section!

PM'd

How about a Rudolph option where the legends are translucent. Then put it on a backlight red board.

Any progress in releasing the CAD file?

Interested!

Do you have a full set of plate mounted costars for these plates in ansi? That would be awesome

Hope it's not too long... I guess my Zealios and GON parts will be waiting for the case for some time.

That's my plan as well. Do you have a source for stabilizers? I didn't pick any up from Gon.

Awesome!

Did the up arrow placement get fixed?

Yes!

Awesome. Looking forward to these plates!

Ya. I know. Same thing I looked at. Last week Wednesday I bought the bare pcb. I got messaged that all he had in stock was presoldered boards and I needed to add on $15. So I have the presoldered version on the way to me.

So I just basically add the $75 one? (this http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com ...

Yeah, no Teensy on the GON. Ends up about the same price, and the shipping is cheaper to EU ($20 instead of $50). You might want to get one with the surface mount components pre-baked.

That's for the diodes/resistors already installed right? (because they're SMD). I think I could solder them ...
