OH, I understood that you had a CNC workshop - otherwise its POINTLESS going to such an operation as above - there cost will be in the GBP500 ball park WITHOUT finishing - there is a lot of machining on the Detox - was it like 60 screw threads IIRC - and there is post CNC'ing after anodising to expose the conductive mating surfaces...
Now I'm getting all depressed again as I suspect Chine will be the only real option... even if we have to factor a 50% reject rate, I suspect the price will still be cheaper then European pricing
I do work in a CNC workshop with 5 axis capability in addition to 3 Hurco VMC42, I am a mechanical design engineer and design and quote for this type of stuff all the time, a few years back I generated the 3d models and detail drawings for someone wanting to house some N-Cores in a bespoke fully machined chassis
was merely offering another option as at every juncture of this process that doesn't directly involve pcb design you are being stalled
tbh I'm so annoyed at this whole affair I thought long and hard about even offering this, so my motivation is purely trying to get something moving in return for my investment, I'm not saying we will be cheap, but I can offer a figure that some people might be prepared to work with.
