If it’s a small quantity, have you looked into 3D printing it?

This article has some cost estimates.

https://www.howmuchisit.org/how-much-does-3d-printing-cost/

I used to work w plastic suppliers. Mostly they are in China or Korea. Not sure what kind of plastic process would be used, but assuming injection molding. The molds cost quite a bit and come from specific shops (the plastic supplier would have those connections). I don’t really know how to find suppliers to do small runs from indiviso orders - this is usually a big business thing and buying small runs is tough. Capacity issues can make this tough too. I would try to find an English speaking sales agent who works for plastic suppliers and use them to find a source back in China. Best of luck

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Currently I manage 15 developers & BAs + external teams & roughly a 6 million $ budget in professional service fees. I’m putting in 55-60 hour weeks and my job feels more like program management than a project manager.
