I was just throwing a number out because you were being vague. Only you know what your hourly CNC rate is, your setup time, yearly capacity of your CNC, CAD design time and what you want your profit margin to be.
Thanks for throwing a number out.

Sounds like a fair price to me!, But I think I need to invest in some Drive Guardians first, then the drive blueprinting, I'm definitely interested
