    hi all,
    I have posted a tea light holder designed in cinema 4d. now i wonder how it is possible that the price is so high for the plastic material. is there anything i did wrong??
    rough size of the object is 5cm (w), 11 (h) x 5 (d).
    render of the object is attached

    Wall thickness probably, the walls and especially the base appear to be quite massive - remember you are paying per volume of
    material used.

    It's all volume. If the price is high, it's because your volume is too. Hollow out some of the insides or make the outer walls thinner.
