Do you have any idea of what will be the selling price of this time module ?

At this point I can't even guess what the PC board (tight design rules) or assembly (very dense part placement) is going to cost. My target selling price was $45-75. I can imagine all the business majors out there rolling their eyes at these two statements. But I'm doing this because _I_ want Time functionality for all of my personal machines, and imagine that others do as well.

Ok then, based on the assumption that the cost of one module will be under $100 USD,
I am committing myself for the following:

• if no v5 board is produced, I will buy four (4) time modules (to match the number of 41CL boards that I have)
• if a v5 board is produced, I will buy two (2) 41CL v5 boards and six (6) time modules
  

Last question, about the enclosing case, will you offer the 3D printed case parts and if not, are the following HP-41 3D printed module parts will be compatible ?
