Re: General EKOCYCLE 3D Printer Thread
Our students have been slow to adopt CAD, despite two engineering mentors' urgings, so we are thinking of using the following system to encourage them: The printer's primary use is for team projects and those will have highest priority on the printer. Team members are welcome to print items for personal projects. Items which they design will be charged the team's cost for filament and other consumables. Items which have been designed by others will be charged at a rate that is 25-50% higher.

Has any team tried something similar? How did it go?

Has anyone put together a cost-per-print analysis?
