Getting plates cut for custom layouts?

Hi. So with one custom keyboard done I'd like to do the next one a bit crazier, and without a PCB, just manual wiring. Is there any good places to get plates cut (aluminum, steel, acrylic, doesn't really matter) online? Getting it done locally is going to be very expensive.

So does anyone have any online service that they use?

no place online that i know of, but if you need people to cad it, just ask around on GH and DT. Maybe even on OTD. And it shouldn't be that expensive for a cheaper material...

Where are you located? Set your location on your DT profile! :x

If you're in the UK, yorkshireprofiles.co.uk is great for alu/steel.

Sorry, I have set it now! I'm in Norway, maybe they'll ship across the pond? :D
