Xometry or 3D hubs, try the different processes. Also, try to make it out of sheet metal and use those companies or Sendcutsend.

Lol Xometry.

I've burned tens of thousands of dollars with them. They have tons of sales, little to no support. They have zero ability to stick with a vendor who does good work. They're a total crap shoot on quality and no responsibility when it fails.

Absolutely. If that’s what you want, you need to go directly to the machine shop.
