Topic: Modeling for 3d print rates?

Hello

I'm new to 3d printing and already got some models online,That made some designers to hire me to turn their idea into 3d
but and i really dont know how can i make my rates, i dont want to sound greedy but also i dont want to waste my hard work and time.
Any suggestions will be more than welcomed

Re: Modeling for 3d print rates?

I use shapeways white strong flexible /2 and if it seems low or isnt worth it I goose it up until I feel okay with it.  Then I give them both options.  That way im not saying I dont want the work, just that I dont want to underbid shapeways on that job.  You have to approach shapeway quality to make this work though.
