I'm still pretty pumped about these parts. Are you charging extra for painting, or anodizing?

spartan117 · April 14th, 2011, 01:14

i would prefer anodizing.

deadlydayne · April 14th, 2011, 01:20

Well when i get the total and final price based on machine time and stock... and yadda yadda yadda for you guys it will be right in cost, i dont think the price will change much if at all, so far its lookin like the stock hinge, Part 66 might go up a little bit but thats just because of minor 3d machining. again if it goes up at all. and they will all be anodized black.

Here i have some pics, this is the machine i prototype the parts on, its a mill from the '80s and i have to change the tools out manually but it gets the job done nicely.>>>>

Here i have the workhorses of the business, this is what i will use to produce the parts, this one is a fadal 2216 w/windows xp operating system in it. >>>

And here is the other workhorse, Another Fadal, yet a 4020 just about twice the amount of travel.

I can smell a thundercactus comment.

spartan117 · April 14th, 2011, 01:54

Aw man. All of them will be anodized black? Are you sure you can't get them in FDE?

deadlydayne · April 14th, 2011, 02:01

i know :-( as of right now i have no dark earth, or desert camo'd colors for ano. i can look around my powders and see what i have but i can tell ya i wont have a brown close to the DE that WE uses.

Ross · April 14th, 2011, 02:31

you could leave some of them unpainted for desert edition. And then someone like spartan117 could sandpaper it down and paint it himself.

deadlydayne · April 14th, 2011, 02:42

well when i produce them and take orders tell me if you want black or raw... and why would you sandpaper that beautiful art!? i love the toolpaths that the machine makes a cool design. Like i mean look at this part>>>

absolutely awesome. plus its a clean finish, so its not like the sanding would make it smoother.

Ross · April 14th, 2011, 02:44

it helps with paint bonding (im sure you know). But if those tooth marks are rough, then no need I guess. And stop teasing us with your cnc'd happiness. I can't wait to get this part.

deadlydayne · April 14th, 2011, 02:51

hahahaha, teasing!? who said anything about teasing...
you talking bout this>>>

now thats teasing :-p im bustin ass trying to get these out the door, actually as we speak im programming the tooling for 66. hopefully put out the proto this weekend
