I wasn't trying to make money off of it, I just thought it'd be neat to have something I made.

I was thinking about shortening the pins after looking at that cutaway view.

Is a 1.5mm base thin? Can I go a little less? Do you think that there will be enough 'thread' to catch an M2 bolt on that to hold the thing together (it's the only part that's threaded)?

$65/HOUR? It sounds reasonable, but when you say hourS... I didn't want to shell out more than $100. I know that's not realistic now!

The fun part was designing it, and maybe I can make some neat chipset block or something that someone else will want to use/make... because the fancy designs are cool and all until I hear the rest of the stuff will be "several more hours"!

I have to think all this over.

EDIT and of course, iandh, the concavity would be cut out of the copper FIRST by cnc and THEN cut the rows with some sort of micro-saw... right?
