Yikes. Or break all that down and get it all for free elsewhere. For a mechanical engineer that doesn't know much about doing this on their own, I suppose it's not a raw deal. I think lots of people make this argument about all those other services "not being free" and while that's true, that seems more to me an excuse for not having learned how to do those things quickly. I can set all that stuff up in a very short amount of time. My cost for doing that is almost nothing. The barrier to entry for that kind of thing goes down extremely quickly, in fact, I'd say the cost is only "high" the first time you do it. Every time after that it costs much, much less.
