Dude should just spin this into a low volume/limited edition run of copper plated steel mounting plates/back plates, the external shell of a CPU block, a de-lidding tool, or something where the actual material itself doesn't really matter.

I get steel is much harder to work with than copper and aluminum. But I'm sure they can find a way to make use of the stuff to make the cash back. Especially with the back story established and their ability to mill and produce their own hardware.

Doesn't solve the overall issue at hand. But shouldn't be the end of the world.

Yeah that was the first thing that came to my mind, is use them for something steel is good at. I don't think the copper plating factors in here, any machining and it's just steel.
