Hey guys, just curious if anyone knows of a place that can design and/or 3D mill aluminum parts in small quantities?  Locally or out of state, doesn't matter.  Thx for any suggestions.

I'd honestly search "CNC" on Craigslist under services and find a home machinist/badass on a Bridgeport selling work. (Me oneday)
Most established shops have contractual obligations to fill so they bid high on outside work.

If you provide design/blueprints it'd be cheaper too.

Yeah that’s actually what I was hoping to find. Someone doing work on the side with access to a mill. Thanks for the suggestion I’ll try searching CL in the meantime.

You might see if you can get a hold of my buddy in Vancouver, WA, he has one of the largest machine shops in the state and does all kinds of design and work, his name is John Bauman and owns Salmon Creek Machine.

He does a lot of work, but he might have time to fit in a new project.

I also have a conversational CNC Bridgeport milling machine at home and do small batch work on the side.
I am in the Everett area.
