Current Hardware Stuff
Tube shims:
Tube shims for centerfuge are finished. They will be uploaded to shapeways if anyone wants to get 'em.
Should be cheap. Will modify to cheapen.
PCR:
Current PCR block.
Quotes for it's manufacture are woefully high. Looking to decrease this cost. Prices:
- $950 (!!!) to have it 3D printed.
- ~$300 to $400 for a custom machining job.
- ??? Other methods of manufacture (sand casting, investment casting, ect...)?
Ways to possibly lower the cost:
- A Heat conductive polymer
- Some kind of putty (?? No idea what this was ??)
- Ceramic block
- Decrease size of block
- Remove hard to machine features
- Remove block entirely and construct PCR from heated baths
- A mixture of a few of these (simpler block with baths rather then tube shaped holes)
