Topic: any place to get a replacement aluminum build plate 200mm SD3

Does any 3rd party sell a SD3 aluminum build plate with the screw holes precut ?

Or am better off just getting a fresh piece of 3mm aluminum and getting it cut to size and drill my holes ?

Iowa, USA.

I am deathly afraid of ordering from solidoodle right now, although 15$ might be worth the gamble.

Also if anyone knows, are the holes lined up the same for the SD 2, 3 and 4 ?

I assume the holes lined up the same to save money by having them all the same for the aluminum build platform but just in different sizes of width,length.

And what do you think the chances are that if he orders, Solidoodle will actually ship him anything at this point?

Unfortunately they are not. If you turn up empty, perhaps one of our resident machinists would be able to give you an option.

EDIT: Sorry for the half assed comment. SD2 is a different size than SD3/4. SD3/4 are the same

Multiple SD2s- Bulldog XL, E3D v5/v6/Lite6, Volcano, Hobb Goblin, Titan, .9 motor, Lawsy carriages, direct Y drive, fishing line...the list goes on

2 is smaller than the 3 & 4 plates and base so partly yes 3 & 4 would be same

Have you guys seen what Solidodle charges to ship that $15 build plate???  To California is $50, to Iowa it's $35.

That's f'ing crazy. yikes

Tell you what.  I replaced the one on my SD3  a long time ago with a solid copper plate.  If I can find the original Alu.  around the house tonight, I'll charge you $25 shipped to Iowa, Deal?

Yeah, let me know what you come up with and I will shoot 25$ over to through paypal or something.

If you cant find it, tell me more about this copper plate.

I looked last night in all the likely places, but couldn't find it. 

If I ever do find it, I'll let you know (provided you're still looking at that time).
