Obviously I can't stop this but the Creative Commons licence I put the design under is for non commercial use.
No probs with people charging nominal amount for materials and actual costs like postage but please don't try to make a profit. That would not be in the spirit of sharing the design and letting you know about it.

So £3 postage, maybe £2 filament, and 4 hours printing (assuming no failures). Plus a trip to the post office, and a box. I really struggle to decide if the 'non-commercial' licence is compatible with the £10 minimum that it would take for me to print and post this to someone - this being roughly what I'd expect anyone to pay me to print a design they give me (and I'm still doing them a favour here, not running a fabrication business). I'd prefer non-commercial licences to be more explicit about permitting 'cost of service'.
Printed one side. I don't actually use these, so I'm not sure how strong I expect them to be, but seems reasonable in ABS. They don't have the 'snap to open/close', or the little retainer clips which hold the factory ones in (and snap if you pull them out). Design came out nice once printed.

I agree. But that's the option I had available. If people are working within the spirit of the sharing ecology then I am good.
No intent on my part to stifle sharing.
