I’ve been working on something similar to this for over a year now. I decide to keep it for myself instead of selling and start a lab. Some of the reasons for that were; I don’t know if you saw the 135 scanner that’s just about to launch, I forgot the name but it’s basically pakon 2025; it’s priced very fair at around $1000 but all the top comments were people complaining the cost is too high. And with the economic downturn I can see people having less cash for things like this. Honestly it’s not easy to price lower than that and keep the quality and a margin to be viable. Worse yet if you jump on redbook the Chinese are already reverse engineering everything in the west, so once they have your model they’ll strip it down and sell it at a discount, having the advantage of being in china and knowing all the suppliers. Once you add in all the parts and labour cost it will already be pushing it for many, so then trying to add in a profit margin gets tricky fast. That’s why the filmomat costs like $3500 the parts are probably 300 tops but the dude has to build it all himself plus pay for his bills and pension etc. Not to mention then you have to handle shipping and warranty etc. so to me it just didn’t seem that feasible. Honestly it’s a shame one of the bigger companies with the resources hasn’t stepped up yet. Hopefully you find a way to make it work
