if we can get them cheap enough it makes a "why not" scenario. :-)

what we really need is someone to get ONE of them and make an STL file of it then we can just 3D print more at a fraction of the price.
First articles made in our new mold were approved last week. GasPods will be available at a lower price in the next 30 days.
