      I’m not selling these, due to patent issues, supply issues and a rather awkward amount of people who would want to buy them. I’ve had ~100 people asking for one. If it was ~5 or so, I could just make them and give them away either at cost or for free. The amount of work and money is small enough, and support/warranty is not an issue.

      If it was >20k people, I could get a production partner that would do the production for me, I could hire support staff and so on.

      But with ~100 units, that’s by far not enough to hire anyone, but it’s still enough that I would have to deal with returns/warranty/support and that it’s too much for me to actually do it on my own next to my real job.

      But the design is free and open source, so if anyone wants to make them (even commercially), I’d be more than happy.
