I agree with you on the attractive logo and packaging. Jerry is a real artist and I would expect no less from him.

He might consider substituting UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene) for the Delrin. It will look the same, machine about the same, and perform the same in this application but should cost less.

UHMWPE is about half the cost
Half the tensile strength but at 4750 psi is still way over kill
Much higher impact strength than delrin, but again, either is overkill
Lower coefficient of friction so may need blue tape more often
