Small Run Injection Molding?

[pinebox]

Anyone used any small injection molding services? Like ~1000 pieces? I could probably do a bit more quantity if necessary, since I'm sure some people would like to use some caps that are unique for their own projects. I would love to replace al the switch caps on an A Range I look after, but they have these triangular switch caps that are long out of production. I could 3D print a bunch, but it would be much nicer to have them molded and at the quantity I need it may be about the same price, but curious if anyone has a place they can point me to?

I have been curious about trying out PCBway's injection molding service. You may want to talk with Hollywood Plastics Engineering (818) 361-6040 620 Arroyo St San Fernando, CA 91340. I worked with them a bit when I was at AEA.

Unless things have changed radically in the last 20 years, the tooling cost will mean you need to make at least 10,000 to be economic.
