Awesome. I had one of your cases for my iPhone 4! [Edit] Also, I really enjoyed your blogpost on getting the case to build within tolerance. That's what put me over the edge to get the case.[/Edit]

That's what I was attempting to say. I spent three years working in a 3D printing lab around the turn of the century. I cannot fathom why a company (startup or otherwise) would attempt to sell products made from 3D printers that could be made with a much cheaper process. Certainly, none of our customers did at the time (or if they sent us something to build which could be milled, that's how we would do it to save time/money - actually, most of our clients would have just done it themselves).
