I just emailed 16 laser cutting companies in the UK. I really hope I can just find one place who could do the whole job but this might not be possible. The lead time for the quote I received today was 4 weeks, which means I get the uncut plates, send them to the laser place and they might have a similar wait… I’m quite sure if I show up in Hong Kong with cash I could probably hurry a factory along and get them made in 2 weeks for 1/5 the price…

Thankfully there are places that can point the laser in more directions than ‘down’, otherwise I would have a problem :p
