I was thinking the same thing! I would pay serious money for this sort of thing in a kit. Maybe in general, that's an opportunity for something like Shapeways, but for laser cutting/milling. Edit: ponoko.com

  Great point! I think the GP's intention was to note that the designer could choose to partner with a manufacturing place to provide pre-made kits for these (like UGears does).

    Yes, and my point is that the designer has explicitly chosen not to do this. He wants people to build their own.
