Thanks i found another source of laser cutting aluminium plate. The shop quoted a more reasonable price like mentioned. Some what off-topic but may be useful The stiffness of a plate is proportional to the young's modulus multiplied by moment of inertia of the cross section, the moment of interia is...

Thanks! as i've approached a workshop who has some 'sexy' high power laser cutters who quoted the price of cutting a metal plate that i could probably purchase a dozen quality 104-108 keys mech keyboards. hence i searched for alternatives, i'd put cnc routing as a good alternative with aluminium pla...

hi just like to bounce this thread with a question. i think steel and aluminium plates are good as they fit those 1.5 mm snap-fit grooves on cherry and/or gateron switches. however, steel / aluminium other than being rather expensive also requires high power industrial lasers that metal fabrication ...
