This is pretty awesome. Although disheartening that you ended up spending much more than just buying a Yoto player or Toniebox. But I'm sure the learning and accomplishment have been worth the expense.

Just factoring in the BOM cost including 3D printer materials this comes out quite below a retail Tonie Box. The same is true for the cartridges vs. Tonie figurines.
The tools are definitely a big expense, but are in constant use for other projects, so ammortize.
What's not factored in is the time spent working on this. I don't feel too bad about it, as working on this essentially replaced watching shows or movie at night when everyone is asleep.
