A slight distraction from #3dprinting ...

I need two M16x1.5 screws, made from alumin(i)um or steel, ideally anodized/coated in black.

The Chinese #CNC services are quoting $25-50 per piece, excluding shipping.

I'm pretty sure this should be much cheaper to produce on a metal #lathe, alas I don't have access to one.

If someone knows the approximate price for #turning that screw on a lathe, or can offer access to one in the #Munich area, I'd appreciate it.

Re-toot appreciated

Sometimes I see @alternativeto pushing quite a lot of commercial software and wonder about the perceived shift of perspective.

#CAD #CAM for example: Artsoft's Mach3 & Mach4 are listed separately as controllers, but not the #FreeSoftware #OpenSouce alternative #UGS?! Even #YouTube is better in the case of #CNC since the existence of #UniversalGCODEsender isn't censored (like covid).

Please, stop the progress of #enshitification and save the much appreciated website with more #GPL alternatives. TY
