I got it from c0pperdragon on Tindie. They don't make/sell them anymore, but the designs are public in case you want to build your own.

I want another one myself, but I've been hoping someone else might pick up this project so I can just buy one instead of ordering custom PCBs, sourcing all the components, finding out a bunch of them are not compatible, ordering more components... you get the idea (or if you've done this before, it's more like "you know the drill")

And I did look into building a batch of these a while back and I don't know how c0pperdragon was hitting that price point!

I estimated like $45/each in parts alone for a batch of 10.

It'd be about $130 in parts for one unit (mainly because the PCBs, stand-offs and screws are only available in bulk, shipping from at least 4ndifferent suppliere, a UPDI programmer... it adds up fast)

I don't want to spend $450 on parts to build my one hot plate and then have 9 extras left over that I have to try to sell.
