I don't have a high precision CNC machine. Nor am I a professional CNC machine operator.
I know what I should consider when designing housings or PCBs, but don't have enough time to do CAM and ARTWork myself.
So I place an order(s) to shops. However, I don't take all the manufacturing processes to one shop or directly shop-to-shop.
First I order CNC machining then I myself QC them. And send them to sand blasting factory, and then to anodizing company.
Even though I follow these steps, I cannot prevent all minor flaws like little scratches or unwanted pressings(?).
Quality is what I think is the most important.
WhiteFireDragon:
I see. If you don't do prototypes inhouse yourself, then they must be very expensive for each of your new cases. I have a few 3D case designs, but getting the final prototype manufactured is between $500 - $1000+ :(
Turbo Slaab:
I think this was already asked, but will those GT cases fit a poker?

Yes, you are right.
But no time to do it myself.... :(

I'm afraid but I gotta tell you "No" as for now...
However, if many GH members want it, I will consider it. ;)
