Exactly. Can get one off items but they end up very average quality and a high number of defects, these also require more time dressing them before chroming. Price would end up being more than getting a mould set i reckon.
The mould maker I have is a one man band and the quality of the mould is exceedingly high (hence the price), meaning the parts will go straight to the chromer instead of undergoing several round of deburring and cleaning.
I get to keep the mould obviously so at least we won;t run out of badges, but it either comes down to people buying more or people deciding on how much they want to pay. As with most group buys you should only expect to 75% of the eoi to commit so at the moment it doesn't look like it'll happen.
Laser cutting and laminating was my first intention but they will need to be cleaned and polished individually before laminating (more $$$$)the bed of the laser machine is about twice the size of the average living room so the cutter wasn't keen on having his lads crawl into the bed to salvage the tiny letters that drop from the host sheet.
