I currently have access to an unused CNC 4 axis milling machine, and am starting in the laser hobby (I have just bought ready lasers up to now, never DIYed one). So, I could do something different. Instead of buying a case and heat sink, I could machine it myself. Having no experience, I have no idea on what to build exactly, I want to make a offer to anyone who wants.
I'm willing to machine any case/heatsink you want, as long as you can provide the CAD files and materials+shipping(I will buy the materials to build first myself). I think after making a few of those I will get the hang of it, and having experienced members asking for custom builds could be a useful learning process, both in the CNC business and the laser business.
I would be shipping from inside the US, the machine is free for anybody to use, but due to localization reasons it will be unused until the end of august. And just to make it clear, if I screw up for some reason I will pay for it, you literally would pay for the grams of material used.
About the file formats preference list:
1. Native Cad files (Inventor, Catia, Solidworks, Rhino, etc)
2. STP, IGS files
Machine: Roland MDX-540S, 4 axis, able to cut up to alluminum resistance.
