Is that all just flat with holes or also third dimension?

Just lazy!
No, seriously... I just don't have the tools nor the skills to do it myself. The "Damper support" needs to be 3mm alu, and the "Linkage arm" is 5mm. The latter has a small 3D element as one of the holes should have a ball bearing (or a glide bearing of some sort). I believe it will be ok, even without the bearing.... I'll check out the link, even if I now see I should have attended more of the german classes at school Thanks |

do you have schools or companies near you where they teach metal working, maybe they can use it as an teaching project.

Fibre-lyte.co.uk might be able to do them in carbon. And I know that the former owner of Tamiyagekken (Jules) had a small business where he would do similar things with a laser cutter.
Good idea about the school project, something similar has crossed my mind as well. |

This is something that interests me too for my business. I often need brackets, fixtures and enclosures making in small quantities to go with products I sell, so hand finishing is not suitable (or cost-effective). I have struggled to find anyone to do this kind of thing.
You need to find a very small machine shop or even a guy with some machines in his garage - maybe a retired engineer or something - looking to make a bit of pocket money. I did manage to get a couple of ally plates laser cut quite cheaply. If you can supply a CAD drawing it will save them time and hence you money. I suppose if you are prepared to wait until they can fit it in between jobs (or maybe on the edge of an existing job) it might save some cash too. |

there are also several websites where you can put your projects up and shops and private people can bid/reply on it. But in my opinion it probably works best with something near or with the i know somebody who does that etc.

So I sent off an e-mail to a local school that has a study program called (roughly translated from norwegian) "Tech & industrial production", and asked them to forward the mail to someone who works with that program. I attached the drawings to the mail, and asked if this was something maybe a student could do to earn some extra cash before Christmas. A few hours later I received a reply from a very nice person, who said that they probably could do it, and asked how many of each part I wanted.
So this is looking good...... |
