depends on price
what price would it need to be, to get you interested.
I don't know if this is in the ball park but I'm thinking like $25 (U.S.) I'm just building my printer now but have been thinking about asking one of the machinist at work to make one for me if I provide the alum blank.
just let me know how much it'll be... i expect it to be more than 25$
I've always admired this 8-inch plate from RP One Labs, with machined channels for thermistor and wiring. One thing I like about RP One Labs is the way they publish drawings for all their stuff. Maybe the drawing for the 8-inch version provides a jumpstart for a larger one, or maybe it's worth asking RP Labs if they have any interest in offering a larger one.

EDIT: This is more of a replacement for the glass than for replacement of the underlying wood bed
I'm interested as well depending on price.
Are you guys talking about replacing the glass for the Y Bed or the Y bed mount plate that's made of wood or both?
I put a dxf file of what I came up with for the i3v 10" Y-build plate here. http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...ll=1#post53744 I have not tested all the dimensions though.
