I've had small items printed in metal, too expensive for what I need, plus they need to be milled to get a decent surface finish. "They can be made by fitting two pieces of tube over a central core, print some guides and use those to saw and file the ends of the tube to your profile."...

Thanks. I figured I'd find one similar to what I need then adapt around it. "Barrel cam' or 'drum cam' give good results", yes, but not for purchase. I did dig deeper into the racing motorbike gearbox, but as they are usually blind ended they won't work. I appreciate the help.

I did a quick 3D print of a cylindrical cam to verify that it would do what I need it to do. Problem is that the 3D print is way to weak. So even though these are supposed to be very common, I can't find a manufacturer/seller anywhere (and google isn't my friend on this) that doesn't bounce...

Hi guys, Thanks for the help. I have found the assistance I was looking for.

Except the guy in Kansas doesn't mind getting the work done out of state. Had some done in Maine a while ago, just that closer may be easier.

I can send you a file showing the items. I can send it as FCStd, stl, obj, or technical drawings. Let me know which one you prefer.

Hi, new member here. I have a couple of small parts I need machined and local shops won't do it for the 1 off that I need. Anyone out there who can do some simple machining in brass or steel who would be willing to help. Must be in the United States and prefer in or near Kansas. Thanks, gwfami
