Costing

The cost is calculated according to the volume of the model and print time required.  The average tariff is R1/cubic cm for printing in ABS or PLA plus the R50 per hour printing time.  Other materials will be more expensive. The tariff will be reduced for bigger orders.

So the Sample in this picture would have taken 1 hour 35 minutes. So thats 2 hours Charge plus the material used at R1 a cubic centimeter. The model is 10.24cm^3 without supports added so that is 11cm^3 X1 = R11

Total Print Price = R111.00 per unit

Printing time is determined by the quality and size of the actual file supplied.

Most printing jobs are completed within a week.  Big jobs will take longer to complete.  We will give you a delivery date with your quote.
