I suspect they'd be fairly cheap to get made at somewhere like JLCCNC. Or maybe get them to 3D print them in metal for you?

I wonder if they have enough different metal choices that you could build a thermal expansion compensated version? https://patents.google.com/patent/US8292537B2/en

i’d probably just get it milled only if you had the CNC handy, the complexity isn’t enough to justify 3d printing it in metal (probably a decent bit more expensive too!)

but at “get it done in JLCCNC” prices I think a thorlabs mount is probably in your future :)

I'd be surprised? If you have spare time, I'd be fascinated to see what their website magic quote tool tells you if you just upload your 3d files. Based on other projects I've seen using them I'd guess under $100...

sure ! I’ll give it a try a little later once I’m at a computer !

(you can too, if you’d like, the CAD files are all online as .step files :)
