I have found a UK supplier of heatsink extrusion, and I was wondering if there was any interest in a group buy.
This thread is initially for expressions of interest, once I have an idea on numbers, then I can get some prices, set up a Wiki, etc. The manufacturer promises he will be very competitive on price, but at the moment will give no exact costings until he has a better idea of the order.
As well as doing standard flat types, he also does some more interesting shapes, one of which is illustrated below. I would like these, they are just a bit different, and my initial idea, (open to majority decision of course), is to get a quote for 200mm lengths, either black or clear anodised. This seems a good compromise between size and capacity, but of course for higher dissipation amps you could just bolt a couple together.

Hi,
I'm based in Birmingham and I'm planning to build a number of gainclones for my next project, I'm definately interested in a couple of those heatsinks picture, with the curved profile. They look like they could be used in some interesting designs!
Keep me posted!

Well who isn't interested in cheap heatsinks? I understand that no exact price is possible, but it would be nice to know what pricerange we are talking about. Couldn't you get a quote for say 10 pieces so we have a minimum price? It would make it a lot easier to determine wheter theres is solid interest or not.
pinkmouse said:Ok, folks, I got an initial pricing for 24 pieces, black anodised, £20 approx plus vat and delivery to you. If we can get it up to 50, then it will come down to £17.
Ring round your friends! Get more people involved! I'm sure we can get to 50 if we put our minds to it!![]()
Ahh great! Thats what you get for being a slow typer - ignore my previous post.
If we are talking initial interest and I guess we are I would say 4 pieces of the curved 200mm-ones. I have to check the heat dissipation of the ones I originally planned to be using. I really like the curved look though.
Another thing. It is at all worthwhile for me when I live i Denmark. Do you know how much it would cost to ship them?
