No idea if there's a better spot to place this, but I'm sure some of you can come up with something that you'd like to get made for the cost of shipping.

Some details:

* We will have two stock materials/thicknesses available for making your part on Free Part Day: waterjet cut aluminum 6061 1/8 (0.125) inches thick and laser cut acrylic plastic, 0.118 inches thick.
* There is a limit of one design (DXF/PNG/GIF or Big Blue Saw Designer file) per customer.
* Designs are limited in size to 9" x 9".
* We reserve the right to reject designs that are too complex or can't be made on the waterjet or the laser.
* You must pay the packaging and shipping costs.
* All orders must be completed through the online ordering process.


I'm not affiliated in any way, just figured a few of you might like to know about this.

Cool. This certainly sounds like a good source. Get some key chain things made as team handouts. :D

You can't really do much with only 1/8" aluminum but maybe you could use it for a small gearbox or something if you used enough standoffs. We have had bad experiences with 1/8" al in a gearbox but they were made crudely on a manual mill and were bent.

thanks, Vivek

I think I'm going to be taking advantage of this opportunity to prototype a scaled down piece of a side project I've been working on for quite some time now.

Cool find!
