Pardon for off topic. The designer in me hates that they used AI for every single asset in this release post, looks so amateurish.

Yep 150 mAh, it's what I had on hand. But I should have space for 300-500 mAh. I recharge the left (master peripheral) once per ~1.5 weeks. Right side only needs recharging every 2–3 weeks.

Sealant is not a bad shout once I find the perfect switch<>cap fit. This elusive tolerance gap has been my moby dick moment for some time. (So when I get around to buy a resin printer)

This is such a chaotic solution, I love it.

I would not put OLEDs for the reasons you mentioned, but also because it would drain the battery in 1 day vs 1 week.

Steel is likely better and surely stronger, but manufacturers charge 2x more for steel alloy machining. At that price level, titanium also becomes an interesting option.

Final product, i.e only the parts and components were $400.

The cost of all the tools and software I did not track but I would guess I invested somewhere around $1K which includes software licenses, shipping, new tools etc.

But I find tracking the cost of research a bit impractical as it doesn't include indirect costs like billable hours that I technically could have spent on clients etc.

The PCBWay order came from China to my EU address, I wasn't aware they have manus in other places. For a set of two enclosures I paid $187 excluding shipping.

Keen eye, initially I did sort the right split from left-to-right. But also over time the fat from the fingers affected the color as well, so I figured it's a loosing battle anyway. I'm waiting for a white colored MJF print, which should eliminate these color woes once I figure out the proper dimensions.
