Kalle, when you say $1200, is that USD? Aluminum would never last under the weight of this model, too soft. And $2400 for SS is nearly half the price of the entire model!!!
Yes that is usd, thats about how much it would cost to get them done, i also thought that alu. would be to soft but wouldnt the alu be harder then the plastic ones?

He also suggested ductile iron as a cheaper alternative but he said it easly rusts and probably wont last long, powdercoat?

Yes for stainless it would double the machining time and so the cost, so its not worth it as long as i wont win on the lottery!
