Took a few minutes to put together a SWAG on costs for a controller -
funny thing is that I looked up the RCBS and Lyman melt pots and they are using the same Chinese PID controllers
My cost for small quantities would be about $65/ea without adding for wear on tooling to cut the panels and little stuff like a couple of wire nuts.
Could probably support a $100 price so that there would be some extra for repairs/failures and my time.
I need to do some tests to see if the enclosure can support the expected power levels (~1000w) without fan cooling.
Anyone who wants to build there own can build one into an old ATX power supply case pretty cheap if you don't care about having a hard wired thermocouple probe.
