[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 250513, member: 4850"] i'm looking at it from a slightly different calculation. 20g /model -> 50 models to a 1L bottle. assuming supports, and remainder material in the tray post completion, call it 80% efficiency, 40 models per bottle. 40 models per bottle sold at 20$ each is 800$, a profit of 600$ (or 400%) (or if you are canadian only 500$ profit) but as a business model this does not produce enough money to be a profitable business. you need 4 printers doing this 40 model run each day (or more) (uses 1/4 of the material) to start covering the cost of an employee. so you need a lot more than just models from this printer to be a cost effective printer to me.
