The lack of a durable surround for the heater is going to cut sales
down to a very few.

There are no retailers for partial products, just warehouse companies.
This kind of thing needs some design time and testing and thought.
You're not done yet.

Oh, you can do much better. A 1 Watt heater system can be run by a $0.5 microcontroller
and a $1 DC power supply, and $0.30 worth of passive parts, $0.75 for PCB,
and case parts of decent non-flammable materials for $1 and kit purchasing
time of $0.25 per each ==> $2.80 USD per kit. You could profit at a selling price of
$5 if industrious, profit less at a selling price of $10 if lazy. 20 eur is a
very low volume selling price for what you offer.
I'm not as pessimistic about diybio equipment evolution as byowired, but
to sum it up, you haven't mentioned anything novel or high value that
I'd design into a product yet. And your price ... ehh?
