My "back of the envelope" calculations for the cost are:
Fixed Costs:
Mold Design Time 5h $0
Mold Milling Time 3h $75
Variable Costs: (per production run)
Mold setup 1h $10
Variable Costs: (per case)
Plastic Pellets (1/10)h $3
So assuming a CAD file for the NEO case were to magically fall out of
the sky, perhaps as part of a program to seed a third party ecosystem
(*hint*hint* Sean, are you going to be in the bay area soon?
*wink*wink*) The cost per case for a production run of 10 and 100
identical cases would be:
10 cases: 9h, $115
100 cases: 18h, $385
