* ~2,500 from the bazaar? '''NEEDS MORE RESEARCH'''

*Not sure, but most bazaar options seem to be the non0pro option
*Box itself premade and assembled (so lots of labor cost?) goes for ~300-500 USD
*Cut parts unassembled from an online service would be?

==User:Eric Pre-In Depth Work Guesswork==
*I am betting a large componet of the cost is the industrial 3 phase motor, gearbox/couplings, and perhaps circuitry
*The most OSE "do-able" is the motor, we have some work on motors in the work, and if combined with either a 3d printed and post processed, or perhaps [[3D Print to Metal Workflow]] based gearbox that componet could be cheaper
*OCI for the electronics perhaps? Not sure on savings, but it may
*Labor (if buing premade) is also a large componet of the cost. (CNC Cut parts (blades etc) for cheap?)

==Motor Cost==
*Seems most OTS motors cost ~300-500 for Single digit horesepower?
*And 1,000-MORE for double digit hp
*'''Needs more research'''
*Name the OSE version what? "Open Source Industrial Electric Motor" "Open Source High HP Electric Motor" ?
