You are aware that this is a feeler, right? We have been waiting in anticipation for 9 months, now. Get in line and hopefully these will come into frutition at some point....please? lol
Considering this guy joined today, and his second post is a lame attempt at trolling Jake... I'm guessing someone's baaaack.

Hey guys I'm gonna hand my arctic over to my mate who owns a machining shop. He has access to CNC lathes and mills... so he said he'll be happy to help.
Are we in anyway changing the design? Or going for a complete replica (outside of the host)?
He estimated about $70-80 a unit @ 70 units... but that's just a quick estimate.

You would have to hit up Pontiac for the exact details, I remeber him making quite a few changes in his model to make improbements from the original. So in essence it looks like an arctic but better built.
@regalis it would be a direct press fitment per details listed in the thread

This is still a feeler GB. Nothing has been made nor has any money exchanged hands. It has been going on for awhile. Pontiac had some more pressing matters to take care so this build take a seat on the backburner for awhile 
If you do want in on this post saying that you would like you get it in on it and send a PM to JakeGT, hes the one heading the way on this thread
Oh, and take a look at the OP, it should answer most of your questions :beer:

Considering that now china is making cheaper lasers in the rifle host... I doubt that this will go forward. If it does, that's awesome... but I doubt it's gonna happen.

Ops..you are right...i'd send JakeGT the PM not Pontiac.If you do want in on this post saying that you would like you get it in on it and send a PM to JakeGT, hes the one heading the way on this thread

Maybe i'm interested but for now my budget is out of order
@IE: The riffle hosts are also nice..would be a good alternative. It is also a little smaller than the arctic which i like most on this... :angel:

I second that thought. Pontiac does exceptional work.
Edit: I wonder if jib will still do the PCBs for this if it happpens.....

Bobhaha, can you work with solidworks files? If not is there another format you prefer? I'll send you what I have so far to see what you can get them made for.
As it is now I can't find anyone willing to make them under the $100 price point. If Bobhaha can do it I would gladly help all I can to make it happen

I think the Circiut jib worked up was a prototype, maybe if he bought parts for it though... You'd be able to get one
For sure though if bobhaha can get these guys machined that would be sweet

Hey Pontiacg5 I can work with any file type.. I would prefer CAD file though. If I have the CAD file it would make it a lot easier to gauge the expected price point.
