Hey guys and gals,
I just purchased a 3d printer called monoprice architect and I want to use it for side buisness and generate pocket cash from side projects but do not know how to price. Can anyone help me with a general pricing and how to charge people? How can I calculate the breakdown of the print? Thanks for all the help.
Hi gevoaelian.
If you setup your printer on 3D hubs, it will help you do all the pricing and then to check you’re on the right lines compare your prices with other similar FDM printers on this website.
If you want to accurately calculate the breakdown of a print, you need to be covering your filament costs and electricity costs with a contingency for maintenance and any adhesion materials you may need to use for the print then add on whatever you want to for your time.
Hope that helps.
