Alright so I am building this custom PC into an old Zenith radio. I want to keep the old dials and what not and incorporate them into the design however there positioning is not where I need them. So I was wondering does anyone know where I could send in like a CAD drawing and get a small custom laser cut piece, or does anyone have one of those home use laser cutters? What do the prices go for pieces? IF anyone does have a laser cutter I can provide them with the metal and pay them for their time. Get back to me!

A lot of places that your thinking of use molds and usually produce in bulk orders. =/ I've looked into similar services for some of my past projects.

this is what I do when I want normally custom bulk produced goods on the cheap.
I wanted a neon sign that said Tenacious
so, I went to alibaba.com
told them I was a bussiness interested in a sign, and asked how much a sample would be, custom ones go for like, 2-300 online, I got mine for 27 dollars shipped )

I know of a couple places that could do this. They make prototype blanks for the stamping shop I work at in the summers. I PM'd you.
