shape ways cost 100$ USD = ~100AUD
There is a big difference in layer quality, 16um vs 120um, but 1000$ ?? really?



Is there any affordable services out there with maybe 32um layers ?

I'm looking to print a fairly geometric model, A level 4 Menger sponge.

I was wondering if I can get some recommendations for a printing service with a fine layer depth, Shapeways is about 0.12 mm which is quite coarse nowadays.

I want the cube to have 10cm sides if not too expensive. Volume of material is 30% of a cube.

thanks,
