Message	of slatting a production run of X units to get the cost somewhere around what people would pay for your product? if it now costs you, lets say $20 per setup and you're selling it for $10, that's just bad business. for every unit you make you should sell it for enough to at the very least make another unit. Usually, it's unit+1.. ($40) contact your vendors and see how much of a difference bulk prices are and figure it out from there. If you dont take risks you might as well pack it up. Perhaps I may be of some help to you... i can look into having some of the components manufactured here (plastics, fittings...) if you're interested, e-mail me the particulars and i'll let you know.
