I have an old Travelwide 4x5 camera that needs fixing. The business that set up the crowdfunded is no longer around but I came across a site called Thingiverse where I found diagrams for the relevant parts. There are two DXF files for a focus ring retainer that need to be laser cut from 1mm black acrylic. There is a bewildering array of laser cutting companies out there so does anyone have a recommendation for a company that could do this small job at a reasonable price, or am I deluding myself about the costs of something like this...?
1mm acrylic? Invest in a scoring knife and cut it out yourself?
Looks a bit lighter than my large format cameras 🤣
Thanks but I’d never be able to cut to the required level of precision. There are tiny screw holes set out around the outer edge that need to fit into a very tight gap.
And yes, it’s quite light 🙂
Based on very little i think you can find some one to do it quite cheaply
Some one on here had a pair of dropouts custom cut in steel for under £10. But that was a few years back
googling i found this

I think the model making community use these services. They’ll be use to working retail
Many thanks @ampthill - they look ideal. I'll see what they say.
