these i like but they seem expensive but still a good idea

i wonder what an aluminum extrusion mold costs for these


i would guess maybe thirty thousand dollars for all three molds but
that is a wild guess maybe it is much less now with the cheap and
free CAD tools available to design them

the main cost is machining them and also with CNC so prevalent that
also might not cost that much

I think we pay something like $10-$15K for extrusion tooling. One set
of tools will make a *lot* of these widgets.
