Hey Everyone,
We are humbled by the community’s response and excitement over this drop. I’m sure most of you are aware but Signature Plastic’s SA Profile pipeline is packed for the foreseeable future and we are not entirely sure when we would be able to offer this set again. To help ensure everyone has a chance to join in the fun of this SA profile set we will be extending the drop until 6/29 (this will not affect shipment times). Thanks!
Hi Everyone,
The Massdrop x T0mb3ry SA Carbon Custom Keycap Set is making its way through production! Check out the photos below to see the keycaps in progress:

We’re on track to meet our estimated ship date of March 22, and we’ll update everyone in March with the status of the shipment.
Nah I think the shipment of all carbons to MD was due 28/2 and probably delivered in bags of each key type. I imagine MD is sorting them into sets which for the amount on order would be a long and sucky task.
Hey everyone, the updated warning signs kit with proper pricing were added! My apologies on taking a little longer to get it up after closing the original Warning Signs!
Numbers are updated! Thank you for everyone's patience while I was away.
Regarding the warning signs kit - you guys are right - we totally screwed up the pricing there. However, with the help of Signature Plastics - we will be honoring the price for those that are ordered already.
The response to Carbon is pretty crazy - so thanks again to @T0mb3ry for his awesome design and for everyone else that's been helping out in the threads.
YanboWuThanks for honoring the price for those that ordered already.
Had to do a double take of my transaction to ensure the price was indeed the same for Warning Signs.
Hi Everyone,
Good news! The Massdrop x T0mb3ry SA Carbon Custom Keycaps have arrived at the warehouse and they are now going through quality control checks. Once these checks are complete the sets will be prepared for shipment.
We are on track to meet our estimated ship date of March 22. We're looking forward to everyone receiving the Carbon Keycap Set!
I feel sorry for the 8000 people who are going to get scammed out of their money. Massdrop can't even fulfill a simple drop with a hundred-something people, do you really think that they'll be able to fulfill 8000 orders?
Just look at what happened to the Ducky Pocket drop from April!

I'd sooner trust a politican with my money than I'd trust massdrop.
dead_pixel_designIs this poor little guy really this triggered over a Ducky Numpad?
Maybe he should talk to the many many people who were scammed out of actual 100's of dollars by the numerous infamous Geekhack group buys w/ Ivan, Team RED or SPRiT. I'm sure they'd have a lot of sympathy for him and his $70 Ducky Numpad that he's still going to get.
Give me a break, it's people like @seidenfisch that ruin the community. Don't get me wrong, delays suck, but Massdrop didn't "steal your money" and have every intention of fulfilling your order- if they didn't... I don't think they'd be nearly as successful as they are today?
Must be his first online internet transaction, what an annoying customer.
I got my first set of SA the other day. I expected similar to GMK in terms of feel or quality. Honestly, SA is garbage tier. I don't know why these sets are so expensive. The caps are trash.
Wow, after ransoming 1.75u Shift and ISO Enter, then screwing UK, I didn't think you can top that.
Warnings Signs Kit Fiasco will be remembered as a prime example of how not to do Group Buy.
What a divisive move segregating those who got deals and those who subsidize.
"Salt is a way of life"? Are you and fanboys actually celebrating misfortunes of others?
I'm glad I'm not part of this game.
VigrithAt least someone is getting a laugh out of this.
What's really funny is this drop is wildly successful despite like trifecta of screw-ups.
Somebody must have been a saint in before-life.
Let's move on, shall we?
I just finished my first practice run creating a 3.25u space key for the Mistel Barocco... It is a hair too long and the join is a bit too obvious. Ignore the fact that it is two different colors, clearly this is a test run, for which I purposefully used contrasting colors to better judge how much Acetone smoothing might blend the join. Not much I'm afraid.
I used a fine toothed saw for this attempt though, and also polished the edges before fusing them. I think if I go slightly rougher on the cut and leave some excess material (usually undesirable, of course) I'll stand a better chance of actually blending the pieces and hiding the join.
Stay tuned for the results of my next attempt! :)
Well the dissolved ABS made for a fun little experiment, but I'm definitely not getting any keycaps out of it... The plastic winds up way too porous after the acetone evaporates.
Made a sweet little casting with it though.

I will likely go back to a cut/join technique, unless I can get a framatically better result from heat melting and pressure casting the abs. Structural support isnt really where the challenge is for me, its in hiding the join. Any suggestions there?
MTK4355Have you tried agitating the mold while pouring to remove surface bubbles that create the pores? That might be an idea. Get it a little hotter and pour very slowly. Just a thought.
