I'm planning on making a bunch of Euro modules but have no idea where
to get the aluminum from. Doepfer/AH sells blank panels but they're
pricey and not exactly the sizes I need. Metal Express does not do
anodized, customcutaluminum. com does .080" (a bit thicker than 2mm)
but only sells 4'x8' sheets. Anyone have any ideas?

.080 aluminaum is used in the sign industry.... the same stuff the
thick street and road signs are made from. Check around... larger or better
equiped companies will have 'Tenn-sheers', which slice 4' x 8' and 4' x 10' (and
smaller)(.080)(and .040).... but- it's gonna be painted in enamel colors....
but, it's likely they'll sell odd (non-usuable for signage) pieces cheap.
Also- I have a bunch of dotcom blanks.... if you're interested. Not a
regular constant supply.... just left-overs.
