(Or even aluminum, though an aluminum mold isn't good for nearly as many injection shots.)

Yes that's exactly the point. A die cast can cost about RMB 300000 yuan.

(Well the good news is that there is another person, who owns 3D printer, interested in keyboard making and seems quite rich agreed to pay at least part of the cost~)
(He rebuilt a TI-89 ti keyboard with the 3D printer but it's nearly unusable.)
