yeah I'm right in the middle of that problematic...if you have any advice I'm all ears (so to speak)!

Honest advice? Hire someone to do it. There are so many things that you won't know about how to make things manufacture-able it would be worth your time and money to just pay a contractor/employee to optimize things for you.

I'm a 23y.o guy launching its first product so saying that I don't have any money to hire someone is an understatement :)

On the other hand, I have quite a lot of free time and a very versatile brain so I'll take my chance with that.

If you want to go that route, have a contractor review at various stages. It shouldn't take more than an hour or two, and most contractors will do it with the hope that if you make it big you will remember them and their services.

Thanks for the comments @malcolmputer. It would be nice to put some description to your profile, to spare some time stalking your online profile[1].

I'm designing a prototype for an application. If we reach up to the point where optimization/PCB design is needed, I'll drop a mail.

Yeah, I am still working on that. You will notice my HN profile is less than a day old.
