and you can figure the cost to make the part. and part weight.

I tried to download and it 404's, oh well. I'll shoot them an email.

Does anyone have the .exe that they'd be willing to put it in a .zip and use file dropper or something.

Found on Thingiverse

Edit, yeah, what the guy above me said 13 seconds ago lol.

Nice! I wonder what sort of assumptions go into the program.

It's on thingiverse

if you have a program that will compute actual volume of the object, you could convert it to grams of ABS then divide by the weight of 1.75mm filament.

Or just print a few things and see.  I end up with a bunch of extra pieces/cutoffs/scraps/oops when doing a few prints.  I don't count these as part of the part I'm selling.

Is this normal? Can some of you post the length you get along with dimensions? I have yet to get my printer but I'm preparing.
