Just reminded both shops about my quote, hopefully they have it done and just forgot to send it to me

They better have it done. Or I'm coming to Wisconsin and there's gonna be some 'splainin to do.

Get to driving!

"Craig is always busy quoting so I suppose that could be a valid reason at times. But in this case Craig is worried about machine capacity. So he chose not to quote, thinking we’d have to say no to the job anyway, based on machine availability/scheduling."

A mill and a lathe should be enough for this case. So this leaves me to one other machine shop before expanding the radius of machine shops I talk too.

BRB Wisconsin. I'll bring a baseball bat too. HOW DARE THEY ENRAGE ME

Guns, you'll need guns

This is Wisconsin, not Illinois

You should drop the weight plate, that would allow to make the case thinner and more elegant.
And especially cheaper (less height, less cost, right?).
For all the bling (and weights) you could choose WFD's design and for simple, elegant and affordable this right here.

WFD is going to be way more since his seems to have a lot more machining operations and his has weights as well

I also requested a quote for 5, 10, 20 and 30 to give me some general pricing guidelines

The_Beast · « **Reply #215 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 19:25:37 »

Keep in mind this is single case pricing, more quantity should mean lower prices

---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
GH60 case:
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Large Base $320.00 ea 1 pc labor only
- Top 125 $200.00 ea 1 pc labor only
- Top 150 $240.00 ea 1 pc labor only
- Weight $60.00 ea 1 pc labor only

(From my laser guy)
- Top 125 $50 ea 1 pc material only
- Top 150 $55 ea 1 pc material only
- Weight $20 ea 1 pc material only
- Plate $27 ea 1 pc material only

Total: $722 w/o feet

---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Numberpad:
---------------------------------------------------------------
- Small Base $280.00 ea 1 pc labor only
- Small Top $180.00 ea 1 pc labor only

(From my laser guy)
- Top $30 ea 1 pc material only
- Weight $20 ea 1 pc material only
- Plate $17 ea 1 pc material only

Total: $527 w/o feet

---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Shared parts:

- $3.25ea 100 pcs labor and material
- 8.2 Foot Stainless $7.25 ea 20 pcs

Concerns:
---------------------------------------------------------------
- He quoted "large base labor only" when I would need him to provide the material

tjcaustin · « **Reply #218 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 20:42:55 »

Judging solely off of what he quoted a mass price for, looks like the more we buy the more we save on each. Assuming he's interested in producing 50 - 100 of these.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #219 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 20:49:29 »

Remember, boost's prototype was $800 for a one off too. This is normal. once you do a run of whatever, the price goes down since the tooling's in place.

TLDR? DON'T PANIC!

WhiteFireDragon · « **Reply #220 on:** Tue, 23 April 2013, 21:57:56 »

That price....

Expected though for 1 piece. And that doesn't even include anodizing yet?

Anodizing is around $30 per rack + shipping there/back + other small fees. I think I should be able to fit 3+ cases per rack

That's what I'm saying. I need to send some cases to you for anodizing, then!

I was talking about the anodizing, I'm not 100% sure that they knew what they were quoting or how many cases they could rack

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #227 on:** Tue, 30 April 2013, 22:50:18 »

Do you know what color you will be getting for this prototype?

The_Beast · « **Reply #228 on:** Tue, 30 April 2013, 23:06:54 »

Tough choice, I'm torn between purple, black, gray, blue and orange

Dubsgalore · « **Reply #229 on:** Tue, 30 April 2013, 23:08:56 »

I'd say, go Purple, Black Or Gray. The purple in the OP really caught my eye. from the samples on page four, i thought it was a little too dark for my liking, because i would want a lighter purple.

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #230 on:** Wed, 01 May 2013, 05:57:46 »

My plan for this case and the GH60? Purple Beast Case, Raindrop Set, White Switches, eventual Lime Green mimic cable. Wish there was a purple set....maybe I'll put the GMK set on this instead...

Hmm.jpg

The day I got quotes for a prototype I asked for tiered pricing on quantities of 5, 10, 20 and 30

But, it took quite a long time for a quote to come back to me (quote sent March 11th, got back April 23rd)

In all honestly, I might just prototype out of wood first or just before I send it in to be made

Would this design fit with the GH60 plate? I ordered plate mounted and assembled so I'd rather not have to de-solder all the switches if I can avoid it.

Sadly no, it only works with a custom plate.

I got news back about volume pricing. However, I'm not 100% sure I'm still going to run with this case since there seems to be a LOT of other 60% cases on the market right now. I think there was 9 or 10 last time I counted

I'm so rustled! I need this nao!!

Edit: Seriously, we both put a time into this and I've got a lot of faith in the design. Plus there are a lot of cases "coming out soon" but none are as close to completion as this one is. You've got quotes and anodization samples and prices!!

I like your design a lot more than the others, especially because it can have less angle. I really hope you do it.
