> A 3D-printed enclosure is fine for a prototype, but a real product likely needs injection-molded parts, which require expensive tooling.

For kid-friendly toys, yes. But for older users not necessarily:

How are these, are they worth the money? I have seen these before, but thought they might be crappy "jokes". However, if they are decent, I would love to play around with them.

I have 3. I have never regretted a single cent of what I paid. I don't get them out and play often, but even the fun I had when they were new was 10 times better value in the dollars per hour of fun measurement that most other things.

(If you happen to be in Sydney Australia, reach out, I'd happily lend you mine for a few weeks if you want to try them and see if the novelty wears off too quickly to spend the money yourself.)
