Hi everyone! I have some equipment to anodize aluminum, and I’m considering selling custom fade cases in a groupbuy format, because not all of the equipment stores well (ie I have to run in batches).
Overview:
The basic idea is that you can choose 2 colors (or 3 idk) and I will create a case with a fade anodized layer, or splotchy or camo or some other pattern that you can choose. Think CS:GO knives. Images are farther down. They should have a matte luster to them. You can make them match your favorite keysets or just pick lime green I don’t care.
I will choose a set of standard anodize dyes based on this survey, and any other colors will be available at an added price because I will have to buy it just for you.
Cost breakdown:
The cases are from 1-up keyboards. I’m working with him to find out if I can buy them without the clear/single color anodization for a discount, but if not the base price for the case will be $73 plus shipping. If you already have any aluminum case ship it to me and I’ll remove the existing anodization for free.
The cost of anodizing each board isn’t too huge, probably $10-15 of the various powders per board assuming it’s in bulk, but I have to pay back over $500 worth of equipment so I will probably charge at least $50 for the anodizing process. If I have to strip an existing anodized layer the price will probably go up slightly. Let me know what your opinions are of that price point in the survey.

I will be selling under the brand “Raptor Studios” or something similar, idk yet. What do you think?
