Hi Well … keep in mind that my plan was to print the parts I need :)
It sounds like there are enough people interested to get an order going for a couple dozen sets. I’d guess more interest in a fully hogged out set than in the “drill it yourself” approach. That assumes the cost does not go through the roof. The previously quoted cost puts the plates at roughly half the cost of the kit they mate up with.
