This design uses heavy metal blocks. I am planning a vigorously stirred air PCR machine
that will sell for under $125 and have a parts cost of maybe $35 in 100's volume. I can't see using Eagle
when KiCAD and gEDA are available and free open. If interested, my timeline is 2nd half of 2015 for launching.
