I need a channel for my bridge project. It should be somewhere around 6 x 6 mm in size. It doesn't matter if it's styrene, ABS or metal.

If you don't know how a channel looks like, here is a picture:

Here’s a website I found in a home machinist magazine. It looks like they carry brass channel near the size you mentioned and they accept small orders.

Hope this helps,
