I’ve finally located at least one option for getting some extra parts laser cut. Now I am trying to determine what kind of budget is _reasonable_ for such work. Let’s say I want to have one panel of both the wood and acrylic parts made, on same or similar material as the originals. What should I look to pay for time/materials at an average maker space that offers this service?

Anyone have this experience yet?

I think i got a single set offer in Berlin years ago at a service which asked for 80 Euro.  
My files might even work without changing on this website: [https://www.formulor.de/](https://www.formulor.de/) just to see a price.  
There are also international alternatives offering Lasercut Parts on demand.

Thanks. I am finding a few options both locally and online. Varies widely depending on the materials used, turnaround time, etc. I’m aiming for something in the US.

> Just wanted to provide an update. I’ve had success finding someone nearby to print these. There was one hiccup with a scaling issue. The program I was using (Inkscape) has a bit of a bug in terms of scaling. When I open the original files, they come in with 96 as the X scale value.
