Pretty soon if I would have some 8000€ extra money for 10 cavity tooling. Less cavities cost less but part prices are higher. That design is not patented in any way and you can help me getting those to market if you send messages to your local ziptie manufacturers and ask if they are willing to start manufacturing that kind of plugs...
That will only work 100% sure on the ziptie locking it is designed for.
There is not much sense for me to pay for tooling because few months later I can buy same plugs from some chinese manufacturer cheaper :/.
You can easily design over 10 variations of that plug and regular zipties with different situations.
You can make your own "plugs" if you have a lathe. Just mill a plug where you put the locking mechanism from regular ziptie. I am first starting with that before I have money for the tool.
