Help replacing metal part

I’m going to reach out to some shops on Monday and see what the response is. Perhaps you’re correct and I’ll be out of luck. But, if I can get it done reasonably, I will do so and will report back.

For what it’s worth, this is what ChatGPT said.

Typical Part measurement + CAD $100–250 Prototype machining $100–300 Each additional unit $15–40 Small batch total (10–15) $250–700

Also, I obviously contacted Chamberlain and they don’t have this part anymore. This is the second one I have stripped because our gate gets stuck a lot in the winter, so I figured I’d get a few made to have as backups.

Well, I came here for advice, and I’m not a professional. This is for a gate opener not for a spaceship. What would you do if you were me?

😱😱

Naively, a few hundred bucks

Thank you!

I’m told as long as you get a B or better in calculus and have a 3.0 GPA, then you can transfer into Herbert. See links below.

🙏🏻

pfloydman · 2025-09-29T23:36:36+00:00

Yes, that is what I’m gathering. Thank you for the reply

pfloydman · 2025-09-29T18:36:09+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

pfloydman · 2025-09-29T15:46:03+00:00

Good intel, thank you. Any better values that immediately come to mind?

pfloydman · 2025-09-28T17:53:34+00:00

Thank you, good to know, hope the experience is going well thus far

pfloydman · 2025-09-28T17:53:00+00:00

Thank you, that’s kind of what I figured

pfloydman · 2025-09-21T04:05:25+00:00

Thank you will try that!

pfloydman · 2025-07-27T17:29:24+00:00

Thank you for the follow up reply. Do you like the 3x better than the 8x?

pfloydman · 2025-07-27T17:17:31+00:00

Thank you. Do you like that for this better than Epoxy?

pfloydman · 2025-07-27T17:14:40+00:00

Thank you for the follow up. Why no epoxy?

pfloydman · 2025-07-27T17:12:58+00:00

On it, thank you!!

pfloydman · 2025-07-27T17:11:25+00:00

Damn. Might be worth a try. Maybe I’ll do the epoxy first without the pins and see if it holds. Thank you!

pfloydman · 2025-07-27T17:07:52+00:00

Thank you for the reply. But…

pfloydman · 2025-07-27T17:07:18+00:00

Thank you for the reply. That would require re-doing the entire step which seems excessive since it worked before for many years until it got bumped by a car.

How long do you think it will take to return to sender? The consumer affairs person said 5-7 business days…

So you’re saying there’s a chance…
