Hi Luke,

How many pcs you have to print/do each?
what is your budget?
Have you consider to do plastic molds?
Have you consider to do molds from aluminum that are lower priced but could stand lower number of shots (like 10k)? Silicon molds?
Where you need to produce it?

Regards,
Hrvoje

Are there companies that you could hire to do the bulk of the 3d printing?  Any idea what the quality and/or cost would be?

Is there any feasibility of producing the laptop parts via injection molding, but preserving the design in a way that end users could still print replacement parts?  Seems like this would require a large redesign investment but could save time and money manufacturing.
