wow, what a crock of ****.
first he comes on here, wanting to just make a set of diy emblems for himself, and then when people want to buy them, he wants ~$500 a set? It doesn't cost much more to program the cnc machining to do 2 more runs.
People on diyaudio.com spend countless hours making electronic circuits and circuit board drawings and give out the files and schematics, FREE! to help the community. AG just comes off as being greedy.
I've worked with screw machine shops before. I work with a place in El Segundo, Ca.
You just bring them a cad file, or a drawing with dimensions and they will do the rest. $120 an hour to program the CNC machine, and material cost (aluminum). The larger quantity you make, the cheaper each part will be.
I had them make some custom aluminum fuel rails for carbs. I took them a piece of paper with a hand drawing and measurements, and they did they rest. It cost $1100 to do a run of 120 fuel rails. That's a cost of $9 EACH!!!!
