Re: pic: Bad Brad with a 3D Print

Thanks for answering Greg.

My typical charge is $20/hour. This however is not a straight charge. Larger parts cost less per hour to print and smaller parts cost more to print an hour.

This is simply because the price would be very steep for long prints if it was a straight charge.

On top of the hourly charge I add in $5 for each cubic inch of material.

Also I add in shipping costs, build tray costs, etc.

Greg, actually the statue used has 7.78 cubic inches of model material and 10.7 cubic inches of support material. My cost for the material alone is about $100.

Greg, I'm also not sure how you got your total because it does not match your material and hourly charge.

I just edited and uploaded this video on how the break away support technology works, so enjoy!

As always my prices are better than the competition and I may work out some great deals to FIRSTERS.

You will be surprised when you go to some of my competitors sites and see what they charge vs. what I charge.

cough cough www.redeyerpm.com or www.xpress3d.com

Trust me they charge an arm and a leg more than I do.

Please email printo3d@printo3d.com to discuss further pricing information.
