One of the most common questions we get at FOFUS is: **"How much will it cost to 3D print this?"** The answer depends on several factors, but we'll break it down simply so you can estimate your project cost.
Material Pricing (per gram)
| Material | Price/g | Best For | |----------|---------|----------| | PLA | Rs 2.5 | Decor, gifts, figurines, prototypes | | PETG | Rs 3.5 | Tough parts, food-safe containers, outdoor use | | ABS | Rs 5 | Heat-resistant parts, automotive, enclosures | | Silicon | Rs 20 | Flexible parts, molds, skin-safe products | | Fibre-reinforced PETG | Rs 10 | Automobile parts, structural components |
How Pricing is Calculated
Your final price is based on:
1. **Material weight** — the model's volume x material density x rate per gram 2. **Print time** — machine time at Rs 20-45/hour depending on printer 3. **Service fee** — 15% for setup, quality check, packaging 4. **Post-processing** — sanding, painting, assembly (optional, quoted separately) 5. **Shipping** — based on pincode and weight 6. **GST** — 18% on the total
Example Costs
- **Small figurine (20g PLA)**: Rs 50 material + Rs 10 machine + Rs 9 service = Rs 69 + GST = Rs 81 - **Medium planter (80g PETG)**: Rs 280 material + Rs 60 machine + Rs 51 service = Rs 391 + GST = Rs 461 - **Large idol (200g PLA)**: Rs 500 material + Rs 120 machine + Rs 93 service = Rs 713 + GST = Rs 841 - **Custom silicon mold (50g)**: Rs 1000 material + Rs 30 machine + Rs 155 service = Rs 1185 + GST = Rs 1,398
**Minimum order value: Rs 199**
