Yeah, cool stuff. I've been following them on Instagram for a while and have seen folks get good results. Someone else here referenced them recently, but I can't recall if they were just prepping to send over an order or they had already used them.

The machinist forum I browse has positive things to say about the parts that come back from them.

 

Hard to beat the pricing, that's for sure.

Good to hear. Never know when something like this might come in handy.

For you guys who are familiar, what would something like this bracket cost - cut from 2mm or 1/8” alum plate?

 

Cut, drill 6 holes, bend 70deg…

 

thx

I played around with their online tool today and 2 bends, one hole, ans no finishing besides deburring in stainless steel was around $30 for a single piece and then you get price breaks for multiples. That might be without shipping. If you have a file you can upload it and get a quote.

Thanks. $30 for SS ain’t bad ( I could easily go SS vs Al). Didn’t know they also offered finishes too. I only need a single bracket made…

 

So I’ll convert my ‘to-scale sketch’ into a proper 3D model to upload!

Yeah, it's pretty wild. Anodizing, powdercoating... looks like they also do yellow zinc plating if you want that OEM BMW look. They also do titanium if you want to get really silly. 

 

Let us know how it goes with the quote!
