Look. Let's be honest. I wouldn't order ONE switch stand as shown here. The price shown is made up the material cost (about $0.99) then a $5 handling charge from Shapeways .. and I tack on a simple 10% markup. THEN .. you have to add a $5 shipping cost. The answer is that if these are successful .. then I order a quantity of these which will spread that handling/shipping out nicely. So .. this is just the opportunity for me to order up one to test. If everything is good I will drop an order for more.
