I did see your pr56 igniter, and I like it. Frankly I like the work on your
website from the valves to the 3d printed chamber, and you we're one of the
inspirations for me to post my own open source rocket work.
I had initially looked at making the igniter conventionally machine, but
when I looked at Shapeways with a $15.00 price and 2 week leadtime for the
igniter I had to give that a try first.
