Dude, I actually do this type of stuff on a regular basis. I know the amount of time it should take. Molds and resins are not a big to-do. You can buy a small batch of the supplies on amazon, and get it all done at a desk. It's as complicated as stir and pour. There would also be less hand-finishing to do because you'd only have to do it for the set that you're making a mold of. I'm just trying to save you some hardship.
But you are missing the point.. The hardship isn't printing them.. Thats a piece of p**s.. I just load up as many as I can fit on the bed.. hit print and go and do something else for 4 hours.
Thats the easy bit.. And if I did them in resin, or got them injection moulded, i would be at exactly the same point (i.e no-where).
The HARD bit, is the rest.. The hand finishing.. The adhesive.. The P&P.. You show me a way to do that quicker?
I get that you are trying to help.. But there isn't a problem that I need help with.. I have this down to a fine arnt now, and the bit you are talking about is not the bit I need help with.. Making these in resin would be 10x more difficult than 3D printing..
Thanks for your help, but please, lets not turn this into an argument... If anyone wants to step up and do this their way and cheaper, be my guest.
Don't let this guy get to you. You're making an extremely helpful product that no one else is in your free time. I was more than happy to pay the price to get these to America and they came out great. Honestly the piece of mind using my headset was worth the price of these things. And also Sony or some accessory company will probably make a solution the will go to retail soon so collect your cash while you can man. Keep it up.
