your numbers are not to far off for high volume production molds, but there again is a DIY hobiest community at work. There are DIY machines from commercial sources, basically do single shot of half ounce or less molds. If you want to go hard cord DIY, look for the plastic molding books from lindsaybks.com - and supposedly they work OK but are not commercial quality. Much of the technology is similar to the reprap (temperature controlled heater).
These hobby machines can be made for little if you have scrap and good luck on eBay. _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
