UPDATE 31 March 2023:
Dear all,
I’ve requested a new quote based on the round 4 order (same items in round 4 requested for a possible round 5) to see what the price increase is at the moment.
In general, the increase of prices are on average + 28% and I don't know why, but
A. 3½" bottom large is 23% more expensive
B. 3½" bottom small is 33% more expensive
all other parts 27- 29%.
Prices updated in the table below, so they reflect the actual prices.
If people are still interested after seeing the price increase, I’m happy to start round 5. If so, please state your interest in the thread AND by a PM to me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Due to a lot of requests I'm opening a new round for a CNC milled full aluminium A4000d front panel as designed by Stoobs (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2886182).
Previously we have been successfull in delivering three rounds of these fronts from this Amibay thread: https://www.amibay.com/showthread.ph...-Interest-poll
By-the-way: I'm willing to do the same for the A3000d. However, I need some help in making the 3D files. For now, please do NOT state interest in the A3000d, as this project is far from ready.
The following parts are offered (with indicative pricing):
Front bezel:__________ € 225 (White RAL 9002 € 252)
Power knob:___________ € 26 (White RAL 9002 € 29)
A) 3½” cover large_____ € 49 (White RAL 9002 € 55) - Bottom slot on A4000, to be used when a regular sized floppy drive is used
B) 3½” cover small_____ € 49 (White RAL 9002 € 55) - Bottom slot on A4000, to be used when the Chinon FB-357a floppy drive is used
C) 5¼” cover__________ € 60 (White RAL 9002 € 67) - When no CD-rom or alike is attached
D) 3½” cover large solid_ € 49 (White RAL 9002 € 55) - Middle slot on A4000, to be used when no floppy drives are attached. Please bare in mind that you'll need option A too in this case!
Additional costs________ € 5.44 for shipping from the manufacturer to me
Additional costs II - shipping from my place to your home address, in general € 15 to € 35 pending on T&T, insurance (up to € 500) and geographical location.
These prices are for the standard colors: Clear anodization, Black anodized and White RAL 9003 (powder coated).
For white RAL 9002 poweder coat, which is the closest to the original white of the Amiga, an additional charge is calculated due to a “custom” color and is therefore 12% more expensive.
Last run, the RAL 9002 turned out to be a little greenish and the coating had to be removed and recoated locally. I will make sure that you get the right color, but it might need a local powder coated to make it happen. If so, delivery will be delayed by another week.
Now about the timing.
I'm giving all of you to think about the parts that you would like to order and in which color, so ordering phase starts on Monday Jan 11th.

Update 14 Jan 2021:
The order is complete. I will sent out the order this afternoon. Pending on some possible questions from the manufacturer, we can expect the items to arrive approx. Feb 15th at my place. It will take some time create all individual packages, but I will do my best to send out all on or before Feb 19th. end of February. The timeline I've got is approx. 20 working days, but what I didn't realize is that Chinese New Year is interfering.
Update 20 Jan 2021:
The final quote came in yesterday (finally). Unfortunately due to my emphasis on the right RAL 9002 color this time, they increased the pricing more than a factor 2!!!
I'm renegotiating to get all parts delivered without powder coat and will have to investigate the powder coating locally . I was succesfull in getting the greenish parts from the 3rd round re-coated to RAL9002, but it means a lot of additional work for me.
I'm pretty confident that I can get the parts for the "normal" price as the high price was soly based on getting the right RAL 9002 color. However, in the event I'm not able to, I have to cancel the order and refund your money. I hope it doesn't come to that, as I have ordered the accesoire-part already (bolds, washers, magnets, powerbutton rods and some of the packaging material).
Sorry for the delay. I will come back to you as soon as I have new information.
Update 21 Jan 2021:
We found a solution and I will arrange the powder coating locally! The order has been placed and I have paid.
Update 28 Jan 2021:
I just received an update on the expected shipping date: March 8, 2021. I'm expecting it no more than 3 working days later at my home.
Update 11 March 2021:
The manufacturer has informed me they have some issues with the finish of the parts.
They are working on solving it, but it means the parts will be sent on Monday (15 March).
Update 17 March 2021:
Except RAL9003, all parts have arrived. I will contact the powder coater on Friday for the RAL 9002 parts.
The black and clear aluminium parcels will be completed this week and I will do my best to ship them out this weekend.
Update 22 March 2021:
The RAL9002 parts were today dropped off at the powder coater. Lead time: approx. 5 working days. No news with regard to the RAL 9003 panels yet.
Update 27 March 2021:
I've received the RAL 9003 parts yesterday and shipped out today.
Update 01 April 2021 (no is not a joke):
I've received the RAL 9002 parts today and I've been packing them whole afternoon. Tomorrow I will post the most if not all...
5th batch - Started collecting interest
Update 09 Jun 2023:
Edit: Hi all,
It is not going as smooth as the first four iterations. As the order will contain different surface finishings, I got a lot of questions from the supplier. Even if I just referred to the previous order.
The latest questions I’ve received were last week, however, I was away and was not able to follow up.
This week I tend to get all things sorted out and finally receive the final quote.
Sorry for the delays. I’m doing the best I can in my spare time.
Thank you for your patience so far.
Edit 2 (16-Jun-23):
Just had a call again and smoothend out the issues as there were some misunderstandings. Unfortunately the final quote is not expected anymore this week, but early next week. Keep you posted.
Edit 3 (28-Jun-23):
This afternoon I received a call and they assured me that the quote is still correct. I will have another call tomorrow, as they offered me that I could give them a counter offer and they will see if they can meet that!?!
I’m confused, but take them up on their offer
Edit:
Update 07 Aug 2023:
The ordering process has started. No changes are possible anymore and the people that did not pay are not taken along with the ordering.

Edit:
Try comparing the black and the white front panels, and you will see some more granular surface on the white one.Hard to tell on my monitor. Seems ok at first glance.
What do you mean about the surface? Is it rough or smooth?
