How much time does it take? What are the materials cost? What are the operating costs? How much does the machine cost? Just trying to do a bit of break-even calculation and figure out what the profitability point is on a per-item basis... since I might do the same [grin]
- jfoutz 15y agoback of the envelope, a thingomatic is $1300. If you get it working well, it'll happily print for days unattended. electricity and plastic i'd guess is less than a buck an hour. ABS plastic is dirt cheap. less than $20 per pound, stuff you print weighs a fraction of an ounce.
