Cost is a large factor for me too, I'd probably be interested in trading providing it doesn't cost too much to mill. If anybody has anymore suggestions let me know.

Ya, see if you can show that design to some places and get a quote on it. If it isn't outrageously expensive I think I'd be down for that.

Final Design?

I'm going to take this design to a shop and see how much they say. If there are any more suggestions or anything let me know. Thanks.

Alright I sent the file to a machine shop, they couldn't tell me when I'll get a quote, but hopefully it won't be too long.

I love playing around on Solidworks!

I did this **** a few months ago, still waiting on reply from my teachers when I can use the "3-d printer" (rapid prototype) to make one up for me...

Your design is cool, I'd love to see one!

I got a quote today..... $200 to get one milled. I'm going to try another place, but it doesn't look like its going to happen.

Please keep in mind that if you intend to sell products on this forum, you need to register for vendor status. This topic is allowed because it is a "feeler" but if you are going to make announcements for products in technical forums you need to be a vendor.
