Not sure on the electric, break down is.A very good price, are you sure you are covering all of your costs?P.
For my printer it is locked in to their filament. A reel costs anything for £22 to £34 or more. Ones I have/had were £27. I can get 7-8 out of a reel, 200 meters and just over 25 meters for each bowl. £27 by 8 = £3.37, postage £3, no packing, all ways have loads of that. So £6.37, masking sheets are £1.60 each and last 3-4 bowls so 40p a bowl £6.77. Glue, get through Pritt sticks at a rate to, other cheaper stick glue doesn’t work so well, then there’s baby wipes and tissue to dry and clean the bed, call it 20p a bowl, £6.97. Takes 8 hours to print a bowl, so approx £1.03 for electric ?
May well take more electric.
Now, I can buy other filament and NFC tags which trick the printer, BUT it’s only a little cheaper in some cases, the really cheap stuff is rubbish. Some even come with bubbles in the filament, or worse still moisture. That completely buggers up prints. Tags are 50p ish.
