- ~2,500 from the bazaar? NEEDS MORE RESEARCH
Injection Pro

- 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" ?
