Didn't someone also make a replacement PCB for one of the beamers not to long ago?

*-* custom beamspring boards soon...

Yeah, I did that too. I'm waiting patiently for @JP! to finish the beamdesk :-D

Make it MX-compatible. Because even if you manage to repeat the beamspring switch - where you'll get the keycaps? Don't tell me you'll print those too. Printed ones are shit :)

Also there should be a place for RGB LED!

I might be negotiating with a local chemical etching company to work on the metal side... I actually successfully 3D printed a full beamspring & flyplate out of plastic, but the response wasn't fast enough to actually be used. Shame.

When I build my first prototypes I'll probably just drop copper tape on the bottom of the 3D printed flyplate instead of doing stupid carbon/resin stuff.
