The Orlando Design 2 Part Show

On Wednesday, May 3, Roger Smith (jonrocket.com) and I attended the Design 2 Part Show at the Orange County Convention Center.
We were hoping to find a vendor who could machine a mold and produce plastic nose cones in bulk. 
The prices were jaw dropping!
To have a nose cone mold machined it would cost between $10,000 to $15,000. That's before the nose cones are made!

This realization made me reconsider a decent 3D printer to make my own, 
without the minimum order of a few thousand nose cones.

They did charge $20.00 to park your car. 
The show wasn't a total bust - 
Free fun-size candy, pens and magnifying rulers filled up two fabric bags. Those bags are perfect for groceries.

  1. IMO, That's how you tell that they are really not interested. They don't see enough volume to turn a profit.
