yeah not the same but there has been bad shit with Customer relations on sell side too

Now just hoping they don't chink me none regardless <:blobsweats:427568683003412505>

"no no we only have those on ali models.. no no american no,, you only get these.. chinese get to choose"

etc

Ouch

Sounds like something I'd expect from taobao though

also the legendary "me choose for you, you quiet now"

Ah yes <:wholesomethonk:373550351082848267>

I wonder how hard it would be to CNC and anodize my own case.....

easy

it would be expensive

^ and that

its just couple of bends and hole

aliexpress had some really neat cnc cases

so not that expensive tho

specialy if you ask it to be done from "parts lying around"

any machine shop usualy has some "extra" stuff somewhere

first link

that anodisation would be more expensive part of that

hell your local university/UAS might do it for cheap as shit

specialy if you diy your cad's

yeah that would be the place to go for cheap cnc if you have the option to

I know mine does free 3d printing

iirc you just have to pay for the material used

we have infinite free 3d printing as students ^^ not even materials cost us dohohohoho

(tho limited to bulk material rolls)

afaik our CNC hours are free to us too

but the material costs is on us

sadly our upcoming sintering machine will not be fully free to use ;_;

it would be fucking dream

option to 3D print with cobalt-chrome mixes and SS

even with -50% (dunno yet hopefully around that or more)

its quite good

You get the materials on 3D print for free?

Damn

Is it that unpopular to print at your place?

<--mechanical engineering student at UAS

so yeah asking price from it would be quite silly

as the plastics dont cost really nothing when bulk ordered by schools

and they might get extra discounts since theyre, y'know, schools
