Sorry, "a couple of hundred bucks" won't but much when it comes to tooling. I looked at your blueprints and for the lens cradle which is the simplist one, would probably run you 5-10 grand, depending on what kind of material it was made out of, and the belt bracket would probably run 1 1/2 times as much. These prices are for injection moulding which is very versitile, predictible, and last a long time. On top of that is CNC machining, to do the cradle groove and holes, and the slot and holes on the belt bracket. I really am sorry if I sound like a dink, but alot of people don't think it costs alot to start a product, but it DOES. I just my two cents!
