Floored at $125 minimum order.

Estimate only — not a binding quote. Actual price depends on geometry, supports, and fit-check scope.

How the math works: (material grams ÷ 1000 × cost per kg × 3) + (print hours × machine rate) + (shop labor hours × 45) + (CAD hours × 95), then +12% failure buffer, then × turnaround multiplier (1 standard / 1.35 expedited / 1.75 same-day), floored at the $125 minimum.
