The BastardKB's Dactyl Manuform Flexible PCBs go open-source:

• Plates: https://github.com/Bastardkb/PCB_plate_DM
• Thumbs: https://github.com/Bastardkb/PCB_Thumbs_DM

[…] you shouldn't order that in flex. Normal PCB with .6mm thickness is more than enough. .8mm will also work but you will struggle a bit more during installation – Fmcraft.

If you want to modify the design files, the Kicad sources are included. If you just want to order the PCBs, check out the Release section which contain the gerber files.
