</span> 2000 of the 12x20x24 microdesktop corners<br>
<br>
150 of the *THIRTY FIVE* separate parts of the laptop. some are<br>
small but at least 10 of them are 230mm long and around 12mm high.<br>
their shapes are.. "exotic" and quite challenging to 3D-print.<br>
<br>

<br>
about... $5k maybe $10k.<br>

</span> the numbers for this initial run just aren't worth it.<br>

<br>
</span> preferably here in S.E. Asia so i can QA the parts, but if there were<br>
people i could trust to QA the parts it could be distributed.<br>
