Question:

1. I wouldn't even know where to start with printing, I don’t even know anyone with this.
2. What would be a reasonable price to offer for someone (you?) to make this?
3. Can you see the white light on the front, is it covered or shows through?

Thanks

Thank's y'all! I'm having fun with this - the response has been great.

OP:

Great job.
I think you may have started a small "cottage industry" for yourself, if that appeals to you...

At this point, I'm perfectly fine to just leave it as a free download and rack up some MakerWorld credits. That said, there has been a lot of interest from folks who don't have 3D printers.

I'm not personally interested in getting into the complexities and labor of physical production and sales/shipping, but I may have a contact whom I could license to do print-on-demand production on my behalf. Stay tuned for pricing etc.

I don’t know who’s filling the hole left by Shapeways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And, how do you access the power button.

Well done. However, I would be concerned about the vertical orientation messing with the cooling system.
