I admit this is unclear. I went into the order an found the cause. If you hover over the “i” it says that typical FDM volume is 3,1cm3 and for most other printers it’s 5.7cm3. It shows the latter where it should have shown the first (bug).

Taking the 3,1cm3. We have 4 parts, so 4 x 3,1 = 12,4 cm3, multiplying this by 0.75 / cm3 gives $9.3, which is correct (there’s some rounding off in the shown volume so minor variation is possible).

So, admittedly, we need to fix the bugs, but you can be reassured that the pricing system itself is correct. Hope this solves!

I imagine this would be really hard, but if 3hubs ran a web version of say cura or simplify that picked optimal orientation for object based on our submitted profiles inc support, infill etc then we could have option to dl the gcode in addition to stl . Obvs we all have our fine settings and preferred slicers but it could be interesting approach.

It would be great having pricing details based on the print height. With DLP printers like B9Creator and Autodesk Ember the printing time only depends on layer thickness and the height of the print. For example, if you have to print a long and thin part that must be oriented vertical it would take a very long time with a minimal volume.

An xy resolution parameter could be interesting as well because limits a lot the number of parts that can be printed at once, but this can be configured only in a few printers like B9
