Hey that's awesome
so what will cost be?
Thanks!!
There are two factors which will affect the pricing.
1) The durability of the material. The replacement gear is nylon based. There is a middle ground in price/durability which I haven't completely explored. That's why I want to perform some rigorous testing on the gear to test for wear. I have two identical gears. After the testing period, I want to compare them to each other to determine wear and fit. If I need to use a stronger material, the price will most likely increase.
2) The economies of scale. The more I can get made at once, the cheaper they can be made. Ideally, only one gear would be needed as it is hoped to last forever. But, you never know how long they will last under normal use, so having spares might be handy.
My target price is $15, delivered, at least to the Continental US (international might require additional postage). I'll probably offer discounts on additional quantities in the same order. I'm currently working on video instructions to be accessed online to guide people through the installation process.
