+## Rough Costs
+
+This is a rough estimate of the cost to produce one of these sticks, assuming a usual 2-frame design and layout.
+Filament masses from Bambu Studio estimates, using Bambu PLA Basic.
+
+* Left and right frame: **$7.08 USD** (141.84g each, as of 2023-09-12)
+* Left and right top panels: **~$6.74 USD** (~135g each, as of 2023-09-12)
+* Left and right bottom panels: **$5.90 USD** (118.16g each, as of 2023-09-12)
+* Miscellaneous mounting plates, decorative plates, etc.: **~$1.00 USD** (~40g, as of 2023-09-12)
+* 8 16mm M4 bolts to connect the frames: **$0.72 USD** (you can get a pack of 100 on Amazon for $9, as of 2023-09-12)
+* 8 M4 flange nuts to connect the frames: **$0.68 USD** (you can get a pack of 100 on Amazon for $8.50, as of 2023-09-12)
+* 4 10mm M3 bolts to connect Neutrik D plates to frames: **$0.40 USD** (you can get a pack of 100 on Amazon for $10, as
+  of 2023-09-12)
+* 4 M3 flange nuts to connect Neutrik D plates to frames: **$0.34 USD** (you can get a pack of 100 on Amazon for $8.50,
+  as of 2023-09-12)
+* 8 45mm M4 spacers to connect panels to frames: **$2.40 USD** (you can get a pack of 10 on AliExpress for $3, as of
+  2023-09-12)
+    * You could 3D print these too, but you're probably better off with brass ones as they give some weight to the
+      stick anyway
+* 8 16mm M4 bolts to connect top plates to frames: **$0.72 USD** (you can get a pack of 100 on Amazon for $9, as of
+* 8 12mm M4 bolts to connect bottom plates to frames: **$0.72 USD** (you can get a pack of 100 on Amazon for $9, as of
+  2023-09-12)
+    * You may be tempted to use 16mm M4 bolts for both the top and bottom, but the spacers I have aren't threaded all
+      the way through the shaft, and 16mm bolts won't make it all the way on the bottom panel, but do on the top panel
+      (which is 5mm thicker); be careful I guess
+
+With an enclosure coming in around $26, depending on your choices --- say, ~$30 for TheTrain's RP2040 Advanced Breakout
+Board, ~$60 for Sanwa buttons and a lever, and ~$20 for miscellaneous connectors and wiring --- you can put a
+full-featured controller with an open source foundation together for around $135.

 Notes for "next time".
 
-## v3
+## v4
 
-* Check that the 24mm cutouts in the frame are good enough, somehow I didn't have them when I printed v2
 * Engraving some cosmetic stuff? Or maybe a place to mount other plates?
 * Try making it so top plates are bolted in from the side of the frame rather than the top
+    * I'm thinking of abandoning this, because it makes the frame more complicated to have a portion of a column rather
+      than the full column, but I'll keep it here for a bit longer

+
+## Bambu Lab PLA
+
+### Basic
+
+* In general, nice texture, but under direct light, you can see a bit of the infill pattern through the walls. Not super
+  distracting, but it's there.
+
+#### White
+
+* Walls are practically translucent, you can almost always see the infill. Do not use for major components.
+* Looks perfectly good for thin things like the Neutrik plates, decorative pieces, that kind of thing.
+
+### Matte
+
+* I don't like the texture as much, but they do produce nice non-primary color colorways, and you don't see the infill.
+* Seems like their plastic treatment leaves some plate residue, so be better about cleaning it or you'll get ghosts.
+
+## Hatchbox PLA
+
+* Haven't done a lot of this yet, but my wife really likes the blue.
