So the question I have been asking myself for a few months now is "should I switch to injection molding for the case?"
I'm still 3D printing all of the Tick Tock Timer case and I am able to produce around 30 good quality prints per month using 2x 3D printers and the cost per case is currently around $3.50 AUD each.
I could probably switch to injection moulding within the next few months however a part of me wants see how far I can push Decentralised Manufacturing, so for the time being I will continue 3D printing cases.
On a side note my Polysmooth 3D print finishing system should arrive by the end of he year (kickstarter campaign from early this year) which should add a whole new level of shine and smoothness to the surface of the enclosures!
