3D-PO is great and ABS filament is extremely inexpensive to print objects. We buy plastic filament in bulk so you don't have to. Here are our real costs for printing: Natural ABS (off-white) -- $10/lb +S&H Black ABS -- $12/lb +S&H How much you print depends not on the final object volume per-se, but rather on the infill density you use to programmatically control the object's density. So we charge for plastic by weight rather than by size. Here are some cost guidelines for printing objects at Hive76, last updated 2009-09-05. Your first 5 grams printed in Natural ABS -- FREE Printing any parts for Hive76 itself or for 3D-PO -- FREE Membership_Information#Core_Membership $0.03/gram, Natural ABS $0.04/gram, Natural ABS Basic Membership $0.06/gram $0.07/gram Non-member $0.12/gram $0.15/gram We do NOT currently have a reservation system or 3D-PO time-usage guidelines. Please be patient.
