Would ponies be interested in pony hoods from Garuda Workshop with pre-order price of 700 EUR, from TPU/TPE with latex hood with zipper from rear? Where would be 450 EUR upfront and 250 EUR when made?

It's too expensive

The idea is very simple.
Build a CoreXY AWD Toolchanger, with 4x toolheads, which each feed from pellet tools, which allows 3x different color TPEs and 1x support material.
Idea for the hood is, I will create online editor where you will be able to load patterns from PNG or draw your own online. Also I would like to pay Garuda to provide 15-20x base designs, which you can choose and just swap colors.
Idea with pellets is, pellets are much cheaper than filament, and print much faster, mainly the TPU. Issue with pellets commercially is how heavy toolhead is, but I solved that with AWD CoreXY. It's something which was never previously built, as far as I know.
On the TPE hood, I would get from Latex Vogue attached hood, from latex, or some synthetic rubber (for allergies). Hood would have rear zipper, for easier access.
The TPE part would be done from soft TPE, but very thick, which would lead to harder feeling of the hood (So it's not floppy) but very comfortable.
Ask if you have more questions :)

I will be on PonyCamp Denmark with bad hooves, if anyone wants, they are mostly free for grab, if you find the correct pair :)

I have decided to try out two multi material solutions:
A) Palette 2S Pro, it's laser cutter and welder for filaments, you have one filament going to printer, and it cuts and welds another color to it, so when your printer gets to that part, it has different color
B) Bondtech INDX for my Micron+ printer, should allow colorful hooves with patterns, like zebra, it's multi-toolhead solution
I still plan a new printer, it's just on the back burner now, as I am trying to finalize its design.
I also sent two pairs of hooves to Latex Vogue.
Sadly this year, I had only 9 orders, which is a drop from 20 last year.

First visual concepts of the future printer for the hoods. I need to add toolheads, linear rails and then just few belt paths.... And visualization will be complete...
I am still thinking about going with this with the help of ponies wanting hood, as helping me get starting funding for this.
It will be 4x TOOLHEAD pellet extruder, 4x4 CoreXY Toolchanger with pellets....and specialized gearbox for Z.
If you are curious about it more, or have ideas, @TekuSP is my handle.

So I am preparing the hoods pre-order, I am working on designer where you can custom color your hoods.
Previously hooves had soft front, now I am experimenting with soft handle, soft sides, but hard front frog. Would that be interesting to ponies? It would probably allow better tapping against each other.

I wish to continue development of pony hoods and maybe harnesses, expand my gear making with composite materials, like TPE, TPU, and PVA for eyes etc....
I am still debating about 3D printer... Because my car is broken, I will need some support from community. Would any pony be interested? This could also lead to rear hooves.

There are issues with matte hooves, right now I have removed from choice selector (Soon to be back hopefully).
Issues is with this matte latex not vulcanizing against matte latex. Working on fix and doing RMA (Warranty free replacement) for affected customer.
