How to Price Your 3D Print

Before you start printing, we'll need to determine how much your print will cost to print. As an educator you have a great opportunity to generate some money for your classroom 3d printer needs and pay for much needed filament, blue painters tape or anything related to the your makerspace environment. When I discovered that my students can invent products for the school that filled a student or faculty need we were off and running making anything that would generate a profit. From Trumpet mouthpieces for the music department to Fidget spinners for students we raised nearly $1000 of profit by determining our cost for printing an object and tripling the price for retail sales. What better way to show entrepreneurship then by turning your classroom into a 3d printing service company.
