Does anyone have a supplier they use to have small parts made?
Also what program do you use for drawings?

Ooh, that's neat. I wonder if it would be affordable for a group of us to design a case for an aluminum bottom feed mod that wasn't boxy and uncomfortable. I'm going to have to see what their price quotes are for a basic design now.
emachineshop is pretty expensive. They wanted 15 a cap for the carto caps i wanted to make plus the setup fee and that with a larger quanity. Im guessing one mod like that would be in the 300+ range.
I was working on a box that I had printed by Shapeways last year. Got out of box mods shortly after I received it. Was only $36 but was a simple prototype, didn't build in the curves etc. So the price of a comfortable box would be a bit more.

What material did you use and what was the quality like? Most of these sites price by cubic inch and whatnot so it pretty much depends on amount of material used and not so much amount of features. Though certain 3d printing methods/materials have a minimum level of detail and things get screwed up if they're not properly supported, etc. I've been throwing some ideas around in my head for a bottom feeder mod (3d printed), just need to find a good durable material to design around and a site that's not crazy expensive.
I need ceramic wick cups like the CE2s have but bigger and for the ViVi Nova head so I can make a dual coil in them.
A 3D printer should be just the thing for that. I have tried turning one on my lathe with some Minnesota pipe stone but it is too soft and broke.
It was the material they call 'White, Strong & Flexible'. They didn't have silver or many other options when I ordered it. It feels pretty strong and has a sort of porous feel to it. I designed it with the intent of using it to create a cast mold that I would then add the finer detail to. Bought all the materials(clay, casting, USB chargers, chips etc) so that it would use a 3ml bottle, touch switch, and USB charger. Played around with clay and wax trying to get it just right, but didn't really have the time, patience, or artistic skill to see it through.
Guess it's PA 2200?

I don't think he can make the ceramic cups that your looking for but let me know if you find the bigger ones... I have been searching for some everywhere... don't think they exist

I did find a something to use and well,,,, it works. But very labor intensive.
I ground one out of a piece of jasper stone (rock hounds know this rock)
good for concept/proto testing. My lathe (GrandMa) needs a good cleaning now.
But this dual-coil is hitting like a monster.
