Thanks for those.

I lost some courage for OSHW after making a nice functioning electroporator circuit, (culture shock), when I got little testing
help or even suggestions for what would make it the best speed tool. It's a high voltage tool, so safety testing is needed and
expensive, and then there's plastic molding for even just bare usability -- brick boxes don't cut it when you need safety
interlock doors. Lacking a finished usable UI and enclosure with buttons and readouts stops most all from testing it seems. So
then you're in non-open trade secret mode to survive instead of go bankrupt.

So now I'm lo0king into "low pressure slow", but full auto plastic molding. That kind of thing, (with 3DP tooling), will enable
small product testing runs of 100s cheaply.
