Thanks!

There isn't any.  "Real" edge-lit panels are manufactured using a screen 
printing process and not multiple parts of different colored plastic.  The 
screen printing inks that they use are very expensive because they've got 
to meet mil-std emissivity guidelines, especially those rated for NVG use.

Certainly!

I haven't had the time to work up a rate sheet as yet.  There will be some 
kind of minimum setup charge to cover the jigs used during the machining 
and laser engraving processes.  I can't supply the circuit board power 
connectors that are found in "real" panels as they're insanely expensive 
and would actually exceed the charge to make the edge-lit panel itself.

I'll sit down at some point soon and come up with something I can publish 
for folks to reference.
