Thanks for your contribution to this thread.
That's exactly what I am trying to offer. The only thing I cannot offer is "I will draw plans for you" service. Mostly because I am not an expert in drawing especially when it comes to plans in CAD software but also because it is kind of customer's specific thing which will depend on what each customer wants.
Material can be purchased by me for each order unless it something unique that I cannot find locally.
BTW, Ponoko offers some plans for free and one of them is for
dobsonian mount.
The license for its plans states that it is for personal use so I am not allowed to take that plan, cut the product out and sell it. However there are no restrictions for a person to download the plan and ask any business to cut the product for their personal use.
I have software that allows to make plans for simple boxes with joints. These plans can be done quite fast and it's almost automatic process.
re the straight angle of cutting, I have 3" lenses on my new 280W laser. It does almost perfect straight cut. Of course it is not exactly 90 degrees as it is almost impossible because of of light beam nature but it's quite close to it. My other 100W laser which uses 2" lenses are not as good with straight angle of cutting but it is normal for 2" lens comparing with 3" one.
