Hi Luke,
How many pcs you have to print/do each?
2000 of the 12x20x24 microdesktop corners
150 of the *THIRTY FIVE* separate parts of the laptop. some are small but at least 10 of them are 230mm long and around 12mm high. their shapes are.. "exotic" and quite challenging to 3D-print.
what is your budget?
about... $5k maybe $10k.
Have you consider to do plastic molds?
yes. not really practical.
Have you consider to do molds from aluminum that are lower priced but could stand lower number of shots (like 10k)? Silicon molds?
the numbers for this initial run just aren't worth it.
Where you need to produce it?
preferably here in S.E. Asia so i can QA the parts, but if there were people i could trust to QA the parts it could be distributed.
