Our school has a 3D printer that we used to make some spacers. I have them listed on the BOM, but I'm unsure what to list as the price. Any suggestions?

The price of the material used in the print is what needs to be listed.

The 3D printer is just a tool, like a chop saw or a band saw (or a CNC mill). The filament is the material you've used. You list the cost of the filament, the same way you'd list the cost of aluminum stock that you machined.

If you'd sent a part out to be printed by a non-sponsor, it would be the same way you'd handle a part you'd sent out to be machined by a non-sponsor.
