Just sent off an Autocad file for a trial on a 3 string pickup top and bottom plate should have done the center for bobbin but not thinking. $3.50 for the cuts and $8 shipping done in 3.2 mm birch ply 181mm x 181 mm material size could have filled the sheet but again not thinking . Will show results when I get the parts. Link. https://www.ponoko.com

Hey.This sounds good. Please keep us posted on the quality of what you get. Would be interesting to know what other services they offer.

Thanks

Got my laser cut parts today the look good. I am going to lay out a full 181 x 181 mm birch ply pickup parts to wind your own some 3 string some 4 will fill sheet with parts and see what it costs. If it turns out ill post a link to the file and each person can order their own parts
Attachments:

Made up a new drawing to send out parts for 4 rounded top and 4 domino topped pickups going to see what the cost is. The small 3 hole plates are the lamination's for the cores 3-4 per pickup.

Got these back from a different local laser cutter enough for 4 personalized pu's bottom mount and 4 domino topped drop in style. Harbor freight magnets glue in larger holes in bottom plate.

 Gluing up and finished bottom mount form. Poles will be 1/4 28 x 3/4" steel set screws.in tapped holes.

 Prototype  and my homemade winder. Magnets $2.99 at HF for 8 I think.

very nice and clever.

if you get the price right you should sell buckets loads.

Just making them for myself and giveaway guitars so far but thought of putting the file and info for the laser cutting on here for any one to use. Oh and your "Scotty" git looks good.

I got the scoty tin off my friend while having a cup of coffee.

I said when the tin is empty dont chuck it away I'll have it to make a cbg.

he promptly empty it there and then and also give a really nice wine box.

he had it for years just could bare to throw it out!

I might give him the shorty to play with if he wants it.

it plays lovely a bit like a ukulele .

Laminated magnets and pole pcs in ready for winding.

lost in translation what a scotty tin got to do with pick ups?
