I found this 3D printer Michael, trying to find a resolution to my project, he happens to live near me(you can search by that) and we've become good friends. Long as you are signed up and click on 'Contact this Hub' from the link I provided he should get it.

You can contact this expertise 3D printer here https://www.3dhubs.com/service/52210 Think he said 30 shipped in the continental states.

There are no bolts, he made little pressure clamps in both holes and it just fits in snug. I'll ask him how much he'd charge to reproduce what I have, and post back.

I got a Cobra 4 this past year and it has been a great machine, a buddy was over and I was helping him repair a rebreather and he noticed my Cobra 4 had a small table and nowhere to put any tools I was working on. So he printed me up this little toolbox after taking some measurements of the things I use while sitting at it, plus a place for quick changing bobbins. Came out so great figured I'd post to let some other folks I know who use this great machine what might be possible with some imagination and printing it yourself or knowing somebody who can do it for you.

That's nice, are you going to put a paint back down on it or just keep it metal and oiled so it doesn't rust?

Yeah that's the machine, I linked them all in my original post to their respective seller. I asked if the machine they were selling was the Juki 441 frame like you have and they said no, theirs was just like the Cowboy and Cobra where the frames are made in China and then each respective company adds their own colors and features. The Pro 2000 you have I'd have to find used and I would but there is nothing on my local craigslist I can locate or anything on Ebay. I'd like to finish this hunt up in the next week or two. Also thanks Colt W Knight for linking to that Toledo deal as well, just realized that rereading this thread.

Local dealer had Ferdco pro 2000 $3200 out the door with 90 days warranty through them then I had to ship the head unit out of state if it needs service. They do not work on the machines in their shop, which was kind of a bummer. They repaired my Merrow A-3DW and it's ran like a champ for a year now, their repair guy is a really cool person. I would be okay paying a little more if I could just drive the head unit down to a shop if things were having issues, but that doesn't seem to be the case with the 441. Also the feet and plates along with the thread they hook you up with isn't as good as the other two, which isn't a huge deal to me but it still factors in. The major thing is not having the local drop off and being the most costly, I did ask about showing me how it works like TinkerTailer said and the sales guy said I've done enough business with them that they have no issue showing me what they know even if I don't buy this machine through them. I buy all my supplies through them already if they carry it, just to support the local business. Cowboy was their premium package 2795 plus 230 shipping to my door. They did offer pickup at a local shipper for 150 but I'd have to drive 90mins one direction with no traffic, saving of 65 bucks. Cobra is doing a show in a local town Prescott, AZ later this month and they will have a 2695 show deal. I can pick up a machine there AND then visit some family in Prescott. This seems like the most tempting deal to me. Again thank you everyone for the input, once again this forum proves invaluable with information. I'll show my support by picking up a subscription to support it.

It was Ghostery stopping that from showing up, thanks Wizcrafts. Can't say enough how much I appreciate people's input, sadly, not making it easier I'll make some phone calls in the morning and see who can come up with what and might just end up going by price at this point. The local industrial sewing shop that I've bought multiple machines from, they are selling the Ferdco but I also imagine they're going to be the most expensive.

I have once again been doing some research as I look to pickup a thick leather sewing machine. I have a Juki 1541s that I use for all of my chrome tanned leather sewing and it works great but I am expanding a bit and I am looking for advice on which direction to go. Cowboy 4500, Cobra 4 or Ferdco pro2000 super bull. All of these machines to me look to be exactly alike, the Cowboy and Cobra seemed to be priced very competitively to each other too. So I'm mostly looking for the current owners or those in the know for suggestions on which way the best wind is blowing for your bottom dollar. Would you buy your machine again if you could do it over or would you look at a different brand? I like that the Cobra 4 has a premium package that gets you most of the feet, plates, work platform, extra bobbin, needles and some threads and looking at the Toledo site I don't see a package deal so does anybody know if they offer that? I like to do a one time purchase for most of the equipment of what i'll need so I have it all in my shop at the get-go. Once again thanks to all that respond, I greatly appreciate the information given at this website, I seem to be reading it, all the time.
