Ok Im starting a new thread since I have gotten plenty of offers for trading some hosts for diodes and drivers in my other thread, for now I will be trading for cash
I can machine up pretty much anything you might need, from hosts, to heat sinks, to mounting brackets etc etc etc.
I can do 1 off prototypes or small to large production runs. Custom prototypes are more expensive per piece than a production run of the same design, because the setup and tooling time is distributed over all the pieces so the average build time is much less.
Also keep in mind the more details a design has, the more intricate the machining process and the more it will cost.
I can also send parts off to be anodized, but I am starting to build my own anodizing rig so I dont have to deal with minimum orders and wait time.
Ok here are a few pictures, one is a AA mini keychain sized host, and the other is a dual AA 1" diameter full sized host.
They are machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, the full sized host is machined from a single bar, making it very rugged, and the entire body will act as a giant heat sink.
If you want to cut costs for a production design, the mid sections can be made from tube so the inside doesnt have to be drilled out. This could be done with smaller single battery hosts too.
