I think the small scale, as in the footprint, is the point. They’d be much better off buying a used IMM if they want production parts but those are huge compared to TFA’s design. If they can make their own molds at a machine shop, this could hit the sweet spot for a product that’s too high volume for 3d printing but not enough to justify a professional mold. Set it up and run it once a week to make a few hundred parts, that type of schedule. Just practical enough for a hacker-run lifestyle business.
