Hi guys, How many people would be interested in an acrylic frame for the bb? I have access to a laser machine to cut the required parts. May even be able to produce spare parts. Please let me know below and I will work prices out. Thanks
Old_Tafr is right. Cutting aluminum plate with a laser takes hundreds of watts. We're talking water cooled CO2 lasers and such. The aluminum EphBox/BigBox frames I've had made in the US were done with a waterjet. A complete set of aluminum panels made from 3/16" (4.8 mm) sheet runs me about $700. Shipping in the USA is about a $100.
I have to say I had never heard of transparent aluminium, this seems to be a good link to info.. <http://www.surmet.com/technology/alon-optical-ceramics/
i would be really interested especially in the big frame parts on the outside of the printer for a fair price. Cheers from Germany
