Materials

Choose Your Keyboard Case Material

The material you choose defines the weight, feel, sound, and durability of your keyboard. 

We machine all of these — so you can pick what fits your vision.

Aluminum

6061-T6 · 6063 · 5052

The most popular choice for premium keyboards. 6063 offers the best surface finish for anodizing. 7075 for extreme rigidity.

  • Lightweight yet rigid
  • Excellent anodizing response
  • Great heat dissipation
  • Best price-to-performance

Stainless Steel

304 · 316L

Heavy, solid, and virtually indestructible. Delivers a unique low-pitch sound signature and unmatched durability.

  • Extreme durability
  • Premium weight (2-3x aluminum)
  • Distinctive sound profile
  • Corrosion-resistant

Brass

C360 · C260

Dense and sonorous. Adds significant weight and delivers a deeper, more resonant typing sound. A favorite for custom builds.

  • Dense — adds 1.5-2kg to a case
  • Deep, satisfying sound
  • Unique gold/patina aesthetic
  • Excellent machinability

Polycarbonate (PC)

translucent

The RGB-friendly choice. Crystal clear or frosted — perfect for showing off underglow and switch lighting.

  • Crystal clear or translucent
  • Lightweight — great for travel
  • Impact-resistant
  • Unique “thocky” sound

Finishing Options for CNC Keyboard Cases

We offer a wide range of decorative finishes tailored for CNC-machined keyboard cases. In addition to our in-house anodizing line, we work with trusted partners specializing in electrophoresis, powder spraying, PVD, clear coating, and laser etching to meet both aesthetic and functional requirements.

Custom Telescope Parts Overview

What Are Custom Telescope Parts?

Custom telescope parts are precision-made components created to match specific optical, structural, or mounting requirements. They can include housings, adapters, rings, mounts, and other aluminum components used in telescope assemblies, upgrades, or specialized observation systems for research, imaging, education, and astronomy applications worldwide.
 
Unlike standard off-the-shelf components, custom telescope parts are manufactured around exact drawings, dimensions, materials, and finish requirements. CNC machining allows complex features, close tolerances, and repeatable fit, while surface treatments such as anodizing or polishing improve durability, appearance, and long-term performance for demanding optical assemblies.

Components of Custom Telescope Parts

A custom telescope assembly can include several precision-machined components that support alignment, mounting, adjustment, and structural stability:
 
  • Telescope Housings: Protect internal optical components while providing a rigid outer structure.
  • Mounting Rings and Brackets: Secure the telescope and connect it to supporting equipment.
  • Adapters and Spacers: Help connect optical accessories, cameras, focusers, and other components.
  • Focuser Parts: Support smooth, accurate focusing during observation or imaging.
  • Dovetail Plates and Knobs: Provide convenient mounting, positioning, and adjustment.
 
Common materials include aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and engineering plastics, selected according to weight, strength, finish, and application requirements.

Why Are Custom Telescope Parts Expensive?

Custom telescope parts often cost more because they require high machining accuracy and careful quality control:
 
  • Precision Requirements: Optical assemblies need accurate dimensions and alignment to perform correctly.
  • Material Choice: Aluminum, stainless steel, and brass add material and machining costs.
  • Complex Geometry: Threads, mounting interfaces, thin walls, and detailed features require additional CNC time.
  • Surface Finishing: Anodizing, polishing, sandblasting, or laser marking adds extra production steps.
  • Low Production Volumes: Prototypes and small batches usually have higher per-part costs than mass production.
 
The higher price reflects the precision, durability, and dependable fit required for specialized telescope systems.

Common Surface Finishes for Custom Telescope Parts

Custom telescope parts often use surface treatments to improve durability, appearance, and corrosion resistance:
 
  • Anodizing: Strengthens the oxide layer on aluminum and improves wear and corrosion resistance.
  • Sandblasting: Produces a smooth, matte texture and helps create a uniform surface.
  • Polishing: Creates a cleaner, smoother finish and improves visual appearance.
  • Plating: Adds a protective metal layer for better corrosion and wear resistance.
  • Powder Coating: Forms a tough, durable coating suitable for exposed telescope components.
  • Laser Marking: Adds logos, scales, serial numbers, or identification marks with high precision.

Key Features of Custom Telescope Parts

  • High Precision: CNC machining delivers accurate dimensions, clean edges, and reliable alignment for telescope assemblies.
  • Material Options: Aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and engineering plastics can be selected for different strength and weight needs.
  • Custom Geometry: Complex threads, mounting holes, adapters, and structural features can be machined to specific designs.
  • Lightweight Strength: Aluminum parts provide a strong structure without adding unnecessary weight.
  • Durability: Precision-machined components resist wear and support long-term use.
  • Flexible Finishes: Anodizing, polishing, sandblasting, and coating can improve protection and appearance.
  • Easy Integration: Custom parts can be designed to fit cameras, focusers, mounts, optical tubes, and other telescope accessories.

Popular Brands Specializing in Custom Telescope Parts

Several established brands provide precision telescope components and customization options:
 
  • PreciseParts: Known for custom-made telescope adapters and optical connection components.
  • MoonLite: Specializes in precision focusers, adapters, and motorized focusing systems.
  • ADM Accessories: Offers dovetail plates, mounting rings, clamps, and other telescope hardware.
  • Losmandy: Produces durable mounting plates, brackets, and precision telescope mount components.

Conclusion

Custom telescope parts combine precision machining, durable materials, and tailored designs to meet demanding optical and mechanical requirements. From adapters to focusers, each part can be made for accurate fit and reliable performance.

Although custom components may cost more than standard parts, they offer better compatibility and durability—making them a practical choice for specialized telescope systems and professional astronomy applications.
