What drives the real part cost
Material price is only one input. The full per-part cost adds machine time at your all-in hourly rate, hands-on labor, a failure or scrap allowance, and your margin. On most Tough / ABS-like resin parts, machine time and labor outweigh the material itself — which is why per-kg price comparisons alone mislead.
Pro tip
Longer cure cycles mean more labor minutes per part - price the whole workflow, not just resin.
