That's for the RES alone without fittings or the bay or plate mounts. It's a beautiful design and I totally want one... but I'm not convinced on Delrin being used as it seems like such a waste when comparable hard durable plastics are 1/2 the price.

I mainly say this in terms of making some dough from this project. Nik could easilly sell them for around $65 USD with all the fittings etc if he used a cheaper material such as GSM and still make a respectable profit. Would also be perfect to sell to OEM's at a reduced price while still pulling a profit (wholesale).

Nylatron GSM

Oh and a supplier that carries all plastics in rod form.
Professional Plastics

What Diameter do you need?
