Maybe for the $200 step give an option for the secure console OR a discounted cover when they're produced?
What happens if the goal isnt met?

That's what I figured. Im not sure how you came up with 12k but id set the goal for what you'd need to break even to give it better chance of success. This would make you the owner of the only 12 bolt diff cover mold which could be very profitable.
For example it would be ashame to get ~$8k in pledges which might make the investment on your end lower risk and worth doing, but it all goes away because it didn't reach the $12k limit.
....I could also be looking at it completely wrong. But just a thought to consider.
Do it!!
You are correct. The cost for 40 units including the CAD, molds and everything else (including 40 covers) is $13,345.20.
If I only get $12,000 in pledges I could still make the covers but would have to come up with $1,345.20 out of my operating cost, that is something I could recover over time.

Ah thats why I was confused. So even if you sold 40 covers @275 you'll still be ~2300 short.
I hope you get that grant next month!!
