  • about £ 20 each as kit (hopefully less)
    • USD33 for 10 boards (might be more with the improved copper layer) (with tax up to £3 each)
    • Powerpoles for 10 £3.65*2 + £2.65 = ~£10 (£12 for 6 way splitter)
    • Fuses £0.3 each (£1.8)
    • Other components (not much probably less than £1)
    • can probably laser cut/3d print a case no idea on cost though
