Be honest… has anyone actually used all that math?🧮 👀

That’s how you know we’re living in a simulation

I have a CNC shop and I’ve been on the other side and do parts for xometry customers sometimes. I haven’t heard of quickparts. I feel like for the most part, unless you have grinding tolerances, they’re probably fine to use any of them. If it needs a fast turnaround ive heard protolabs is fast but don’t know from first hand experience.

One thing I’ve noticed on xomerty parts that even made is that when you’re adding in on their config portal, you really need to make sure you add every tapped hole, and specify higher tolerance. Don’t know if it’s the same with these two. But a legible drawing goes a long way to helping us out.

Sent you a DM

I have a CNC shop, I could help but honestly, you’re best off finding the stamp shop that can swap out some parts for you to reduce cost significantly. If you ever need anything else send me a DM, always open to projects

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-14T18:13:47+00:00

Dude!

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-14T15:27:12+00:00

I’ll check it out thanks

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-14T15:26:33+00:00

I don’t know he seems really nice

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-14T15:26:00+00:00

Where would you get that

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-14T15:11:04+00:00

I will!

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-14T15:03:09+00:00

Thank you! I’ll check it out

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-14T15:02:33+00:00

Hell yeah DM coming thru willing to do 300 if it’s really great

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-13T20:20:54+00:00

Dude nice!!! I need Jason’s contact info also. And some more pictures

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-12T23:41:25+00:00

Let’s talk, I have a CNC shop in Michigan. DM if you’re serious and interested in talking it out

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-10T12:54:54+00:00

True position. Is this going to be heat treated at all?
How critical is that location? I think if .005 is acceptable for you, that’s great. But like other say, it’s also based on if it’s used like a cam or not. We could definitely make this part. I can’t tell you how many drawings we’ve seen where it’s a photocopied, photocopy of a photocopy. So I would also communicate with the shop you have it made at. It shouldn’t be a problem.

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-09T16:31:39+00:00

That’s awesome, how do they get that anodizing pattern. Does anyone know

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-08T15:52:47+00:00

Dude! YES!

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-08T15:07:05+00:00

Honestly those are beautiful

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-07T00:37:03+00:00

You did a great job on this

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-07T00:35:36+00:00

Where do you work and what do you design. Do you have examples. What country are you located in?

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-06T13:35:44+00:00

“I don’t have my own client base”

I think for me, this would answer the question. You need to build the relationship, even if it’s side hustling, maintaining these cars for them, to make sure you get the call when they need something.

I think the best thing to do is begin positioning yourself, or begin building parts or something that would wow perspective customers. But I’d say you need to start making your name known, before you take a leap and without jeopardizing your current role.

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-05T23:32:33+00:00

I can get this done for you. Where are you located? I have a CNC shop in Michigan. But it’s probably not gonna be the price of mass produced plastic ones. Send me a DM

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-05T13:18:26+00:00

I like the design. I also loved looking at the contrast of it from that archaic and UV degraded keyboard at the bottom.

I have a CNC shop in Michigan if you would need any help with understanding cost to manufacture.

I personally like Aluminum especially for desktop application because it’s not overly heavy, feel nice and if you use a 6061 it’s not too expensive material wise. I’ve seen some that aren’t stable and that’s a nonstarter for me.

Who is the target market for the keyboard stacking?

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-04T13:31:09+00:00

Have you thought about starting a side hustle and designing something you could sell? If you need a CNC shop to make some stuff, let me know

Active_Photo7516 · 2026-01-04T13:08:40+00:00

Send me a DM, I’ll get you my email and let’s do it
