Wouldn’t the 0.18" sheets be better between plate and PCB since plates are generally 1.5 mm and sorbothane is supposed to be squished a bit?
These sheets for R1 are just for between the PCB and case, so I decided to stick with the “0.1” thickness so people can use them accordingly to the available space they have. Some people have more space, some have less.
For R2, I plan on possibly offering sorbathane between the Plate and PCB, and for those I would definitely consider 0.18" sheets for people using 1.5mm plates.
Sorbathane doesn’t need to really be squished per say, just have solid contact between surfaces. Too much squish can be detrimental to the overall fit.

Ah alright. I’ll wait for R2 then.
I am uncomfortably excited to hear that a 0.18” PCB/plate option is still on the table for later rounds…

I hear ya. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve been putting together a “silent” travel board, and I wanna do everything to make sure it’s ninja.

This sheet wasn’t the most precisely cut, but you can see how I did a basic shape and cut it out. The case did make room for the USB port so I didn’t have to cut out any excess there, but you could kinda see based on the height of the port I’d need to cut a piece of sorbathane out there if it did get in the way.
I know that the sorbathane is being pressed enough as all of the components are leaving their little marks on the Sorbathane.
I didn’t put it in straight, hence that little curve on the bottom. I could easily reposition it and there would be no issues there.
Measure twice, cut once

Invoicing is starting tonight! Payment due at the latest by 10/5, but please pay sooner as I hope to put the order in ASAP 
Thanks for the pictues, very helpful. Looking forward to seeing the invoice…
Hey @Manofinterests thanks for running this GB! I mentioned in the form that I’m international but I don’t see any shipping fee added. Will you be invoicing another one for shipping afterwards? I believe you’ve mentioned that in your form
HYPE (invoice paid and thank you)!!
Int’l shipping will be invoiced separately. I’m trying to get the lowest price per each person

Hrmmm I wonder if this is going to be effective inside a CA66. I’ve heard those are fairly hollow so not sure if it the PCB will actually make contact with sheet itself. Anyone have any thoughts here?
@Manofinterests I’m already in for 2 12x12 sheets, but I have at least 3 65% boards to cover, so I’m thinking of picking up some more since I don’t want to be left wanting and I may also just fuck some up. If invoicing starts tonight, should I just fill out another form for any additional sheets I’d like?
Even though I already like the sound of my preonic, I’m starting to wonder how this would sound in there.
I’m not sure I fully understand why you’d want a thicker sheet for a 1.5mm plate. How does plate thickness affect the amount of space available between the plate and the PCB?
Invoice paid
thank you for running this group buy 
Are you still sending out the invoices? I ordered 1 - 12"x12" sheet, but haven’t received an invoice for it yet. Now I’m wondering if I gave you the wrong email address since I used auto fill while filling the form out?
If you want to add more sheets, just let me know if you haven’t received an invoice yet. If you have, PM me your invoice number and I’ll add it to your invoice.
The context for this is for a sheet that would be put out for switches and be placed under the plate but above the PCB. If a plate is 1.5mm, that would leave 3mm clearance. A 0.1" thick sheet is only 2.54mm, so I’d want it just a tiny bit thicker to ensure the plate/PCB make contact with the sorbathane.
I did half last night and will do the last half tonight. If you haven’t received an invoice yet, you should today 
Yeah still no invoice, I don’t have the loot to add anymore sheets but do still want the 1 - 12"x12" sheet. Should I fill the order form out again or could you just invoice me on PP? My PP email is rob27shred@gmail.com if that is possible. Thanks for the quick reply bud!
Edit: Huey, ignore my question about filling out the order form again. I just seen you said you’re about halfway through invoicing. When you do get to mine, if the PP address is rob27shred@live that is wrong. My gmail address above is what I use for PP. Thanks again, you rock man! 
All invoices sent out as of 9PM PT 9/30/18! Please get any invoices in before I close the form tomorrow 10/1/18 at 6pm PT.
As soon as I have the amount I need to order, I’ll be putting it in with the manufacturer. I’ll be ordering extras for anyone who misses out.

Paid.
I’ll be putting the order in with the manufacturer today.
Please pay your invoice if you haven’t paid yet
I’ll keep you all updated on manufacturing and shipping as soon as I receive and pay my invoice from the manufacturer.
Hopefully the longest part of this wait is just me packing and shipping out 80+ orders
