1.2 Nozzle, 0.4 Layer Height
45 minutes per printed piece for Universal Axis Carriage:
30 grams per piece - means we can print 33 of these on one spool.
For $16/spool PLA filament, material is $16 for 33 of the pieces, or 50 cents per piece.
Total print would be 25 hours.
Per hour of print time, charging $1-2 would be an efficient cost to produce one part per hour. This is much better than anyone else out there. ($10/part quoted elsewhere).
$2/printer hour would be a solid business. Even at $1/printer hour could be a super lean business.
This is assuming large nozzles, so these economics would not work for 0.4 nozzles, and the $10 per piece begins to make sense.
