Thank you gents. I did a bit of googling and most of it is pretty simple; cost of filament, a few failure rates, design time, etc. The Prusa and other calculators only seem to calculate direct material and direct costs.

What I'm struggling to punch a number in on is the use-time for the printer. If I want to pay the printer off in 3 months, this job then costs $0.32c / printing hour. This is far lower than what I've seen elsewhere, but it's also my first side job and I'm kind of excited about it (hence I'm paying myself $15.60 minimum wage for design time). The bottom charts show that at 50 units, at 0.32c/printing hour, I come away with $369.43 profit, but if it's at $1 (the minimum elsewhere I've seen) then it's nearly $1000 profit.

Any advice on arriving at the right $/printing hour, particualrly for job #1?

I think the structure of the building is too complicated to mold. It has elevated skywalks between buildings and terrain features.

(and they want to pay me, so I don't really have incentive to tell them to do otherwise)
