Hey memset, I bought the fully assembled product because I felt the kit version was significantly overpriced compared to the bare PCB and the $5 savings was not worth having to assemble it myself. I hope you're making a good margin on it! :) Regarding comments from others about the possibility of poorly regulated PSUs: you are absolutely correct! I verify the performance of the (higher quality) PSUs that I use before I hook them up to my projects. I've already created an integrated version of this that has worked wonderfully and I am excited for this more versatile solution.

I just received your order. Thank you! The margins on this are not bad, but I wouldn't say they are stellar either (for some definition of "stellar") You can look at all of the components/PCB/acrylic and back-of-the-napkin estimate its unit cost, not to mention shipping+assembly (hand crafted!) You raise a good point in terms of the non-assembled version only being $5 cheaper, which is further confused by not wanting to undercut distributors' (okay, one distributor thus far) prices. It's interesting, because I've never really had to worry about these kinds of issues (pricing, distributors, expensive unit costs) in the past; it is kinda fun to look at a project from these other angles, orthogonal to the pure engineering component!
