Mini + with silver/gray extrusion - completed

When I decided to buy second Mini+, I really wanted a "silver" or gray extrusions. I contacted customer service and see if they could put aside some extrusion before they coat it black and they told me no. So, I went on hunting for proper extrusions, I looked at 80/20 Inc., Tnutz.com, and few Europe-based. None of them have them - well, with proper holes on side. I asked on the forum here, @cwbullet (thank you!) chimed in and suggested MISUMI. They offered proper type of extrusion. 

I ordered them and have them cut to sizes. I had to do tapping myself. And here's the picture. I planned to add black T-slot cover (printing as I type).

Very nice!

Misumi has extrusions, but they don't accept end customers at least not here, you need to buy it as a company. There's also motedis.de and few others in Europe.  And then you can get down the rabbit hole of B-type and I-type slots.

How long did you wait for extrusions? Misumi has months worth of delivery times, at least for blacks. Silver may be faster.

I got my silver extrusion within 1 week. 

Umm. Not sure what you meant about have to be company to place orders. They seems to accept me as residence customer. I bought them at Misumi in USA.

Yeah there may be a difference then, in order to buy from them here in Europe they ask for company details. But maybe it differs by region or even country.
