This table is calculated using a "typical" model at fine print of 0.1mm per layer & 20% infill, with raft adhesion and full supports.
Increasing the layer height will reduce the time to print and reduce the cost at the expense of lower print detail.
Simple models with no supports will also reduce print times, please contact us for a quote.
Prints are delivered unfinished, but with the worst of the adhesion features and supports removed, please note the print will have visible "scars" from these, as well as layer lines, please be prepared for some additional finishing work! Fully finished projects can be handled using our bespoke service, please contact us for a quote.
*Our printer is designed to print in PolyLactic Acid (PLA). This is a plastic sourced primarily from corn starch. It is biodegradable and unlike most plastics will be fully degraded in less than two years when left in the environment.
**Weight will vary depending on the complexity of the print andis the total of ALL plastic used, including support and adhesion features, the actual delivered print may well be lighter than quoted.
