For anyone that is tired of Massdrop dragging their feet on the plate, here's a drawing of the correct missing cutout. The promo pictures seem to include a spot for a longer spacebar stab, but If you just want to put a switch there, this will do. Any machine shop should be able to use this to cut the plate, or you can use it to cut it yourself. A drill and small file are enough to get the job done, with regular measurements with a pair of calipers.

TooTallTimThis is awesome thanks for posting this. I'll see if I can get a shop nearby to do this.

TooTallTimThanks for posting this. I stopped by a machine shop but they needed an actual Adobe illustrator file :(

BorkI have a PDF and can make a DXF file if they need it. What's the best way for me to get that to everyone?

TooTallTimI think a publicly accessible dropbox link or google drive link would be the easiest.

TooTallTimI made a 3d print of basically a cherry keyboard layout, cropped out a row and took advantage of the 5mm space of the knobby part to create a stencil which aligns itself exactly but me extruding a sort of a key that fits snugly into the edge of the key next to it.
I stenciled from the bottom and dremel'd (with a printed grip to let you hold the dremel more like a pen instead of a wand) the hole out.
Right now, I am making my own PETG plate using the keyboard layouts since it would match the keyset I ordered

TooTallTimNo pressure, but if you ever find it within your heart to offer up a DXF file, I think you'd find a lot of very grateful people here.
