Plastic Enlosure Lid

[FLSHBCK]

I'm trying to create a plastic cover for an existing aluminum enclosure. I believe I have modeled what I want in the CAD software, but the pricing I'm getting seems abnormally high. I would expect a piece like this to be lower in quantity.

In reality I would need the material to be both self extinguishing and UV stable, can you recommend material choices for that?

Thanks!

If I loosen up the tolerance significantly, that seems to help the costing. Now I just need to figure out the material.

Glad to hear you figured it out.

Obviously I pay for tooling in a scenario like this, but after a run of parts, who owns the tool? If I wanted to take the tool to a different manufacturer to have parts made would I be able to do that?

You do. Yes you can. You only pay for shipping the tool (which can be heavy).
