Glad you made this so much simpler than trying to figure it out on my own. Gonna help with getting my cost back from things I print for family.

[LinaScott]

Perfect sense 😁
Thank you. Can use it to explain to people who think its a cheap hobby that its a lil more than simple cost of filament.

This video answered my wife’s questions. She’s a retired Math teacher. Great word problems too.

Thank you for this video!

These numbers seem to calculate the break-even point for your costs. This is the minimum amount that you need to ask for your 3d prints.

How do you calculate the fee that you are going to ask for to make it worthy of your time when offering your 3d printing service?

Some other things that can affect your fee:
- Your skill level in 3d printing
- Level of model detail (0.05mm - 1mm layer height)
- Complexity of the prints (high failure rate = higher fee)
- Type of filament used (PLA or difficult to print materials)
- Custom 3D Design or just DL existing model that is ready to print
- 3D Print design fixing and tweaking
- Speed of delivery (1 - 14 days)
- Bulk discounts (1 print or 1000 prints)
- Consistency in quality of prints
- Support and Customer Service
- Market price in your area
- 3D printing service availability in your area

I don't think it is unreasonable if you sell your model for 3x the cost price. You build it for 1 dollar but you sell it for 3 dollars. If there is a bulk fee applied you sell 100 models at a lower 2.50 dollars.

What do you think?

Nice informative vid. I'd like to see a more detailed one on the depreciation aspect. How were calculated the 2000 hours and does it apply to all printers/parts?

[WhimsyCottage]

Don't forget the man-hours of preparing the print and post-processing of the print and shipping price!

Side note, if you make the models calculate the charge for your pc

[baylinbridges]

How did you get into/set up print on demand?

[Thegdreview]

how do I change the value to £ not Euros thanks

[DividedStates]

In that business sheet... You have a cost of around 12 EUR and you apply a markup of 50% and the suggested price goes down - below the costs? What?

How can i use this document in GBP £ ?
