ok, so I see this part is extruded profile in fact. One alternative is to
make it from aluminum. cost of tooling should not be more then couple of
hundred USD and you can order some qty for `trial`, prototyping etc.
producer will cut you this part as per your size. Basically you pay around
4 usd/kg and some more on cutting, all together not much. just idea.
