Hi all, first post here. I’d usually head over to r/OLKB but… ya know.

I bought the 1UpKeyboard Pi50 PCB when it came out. It’s a raspi powered preonic kind of board but I’m not a fan of the laser cut acrylic case they were punting. I’ve made a steel sandwich case for my Iris keyboard and it worked out okay’ish. A little rust and I screwed up the screw hole so they’re not all aligned.

I’ve got a quote from laserboost and it;ll be around $120 for a single case from them. It drops to $90 per unit for 2+ and $70 for 10+. The Iris case cost me about $40 for a single unit from a fab shop in my old town but unfortunately I moved to the USA and can’t access them anymore. Does the laserboost pricing seem a little high to anyone else or is this standard? Does anyone have any suggestions for other service providers?

    Hmmm… the imgur link isn’t showing. What have I done wrong?

      No answer to your specific question regarding laserboost, but your imgur link works for me.

        Yeah, it’s more that the thumbnail isn’t working. But I see everyone else is using some kind of lemmy pic URL. So I guess that might help.
