The pressure!!
It's ok, sorry for dragging my feet. An out of state move, new job, and trying to finish my thesis has me quite busy as of late.
I am considering a couple options with respect to the tool. I can have a batch of 20 made via a rapid prototyping process for around $500. A second option, which I am leaning toward is having a mold made. It is a larger initial investment, but would allow me to sell them for much cheaper and meet demands larger than 20 parts.
Should have things in order by the end of this month.
Thanks for your patience!
