[Arm-netbook] SPI-based LCDs, 3D printing, RISC-V

[Hrvoje Lasic]

Hi Luke,

How many pcs you have to print/do each?
what is your budget?
Have you consider to do plastic molds?
Have you consider to do molds from aluminum that are lower priced but could
stand lower number of shots (like 10k)? Silicon molds?
Where you need to produce it?

Regards,
Hrvoje
