Anodizing

[ArkaiHalon]

Does anyone know where I can get some parts anodized? and not spend a fortune?
Is it possibly an option from the shop?

look in the phone book for local shops :wink:

yea that's prolly your best bet. I thought corbin was getting into anodizing? maybe shoot him a message.

good idea, but under what? anodizing shops?

[vortextwist]

probably, try a google search and put in your town or something in your area.

look under A for Anodizing. that'll be your best bet

[ArkaiHalon]

are the MHS parts "bare aluminum"?

[vortextwist]

yup

Look also for Platers, Metal Surface treatments etc...

My local plater will plate or anodize single pieces together with larger runs for around $20 each, but that requires that a larger customer has ordered a larger run that does exactly what I want, and it may take some time before that happens, if ever.

Well, the biggest reason I want anodized is so that I can put it in my father in laws laser engraver. But he's got a compound that bonds to metal during lasering. We've used it on stainless steel, but according to the manufacturer, it will work on bare aluminum as well.
