I suspect they'd be fairly cheap to get made at somewhere like JLCCNC. Or maybe get them to 3D print them in metal for you?

I wonder if they have enough different metal choices that you could build a thermal expansion compensated version? https://patents.google.com/patent/US8292537B2/en

i’d probably just get it milled only if you had the CNC handy, the complexity isn’t enough to justify 3d printing it in metal (probably a decent bit more expensive too!)

but at “get it done in JLCCNC” prices I think a thorlabs mount is probably in your future :)
