    So the design has never changed since it was made? The engineers have never needed to figure out an upgrade or slightly different way of doing it?

    Of course randos don’t make them in their garage, but somebody does make them, and I don’t see a problem with experts incorporating this into their workflow. I don’t know why you do?

      I think we’ve lost the context here. The person in the photo self-describes as a consumer - they should not be making this. That’s the joke.

      Somebody who would be prototyping something like this works for an aircraft manufacturer, and there’s probably less than a thousand of such people in the world. If you are one such person you know so.

        I’m one of those people and there’s absolutely no way I could produce a safe copy of this for less than $1590.
