I didn't need the components solid, so I hollowed them out leaving some spanning areas, probably removing around 25%-50% of the material. I uploaded it and now the hollowed version costs $96.48 to print!

Any ideas how this happened?

Both models look correct, I thought maybe there was an error with the solid model that wasn't properly counting a section, but everything looks fine.]]> LucasDailey 2012-08-25T05:30:21-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=53125&th=10647#msg_53125
I've read and assume that the bounding box of the parts doesn't matter for pricing, so I'm guessing there is just an error in the file that caused it to misreport occasionally.

Before posting this I condensed the parts even more, and shaved $.02 off ]]> LucasDailey 2012-08-25T14:41:18-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=53137&th=10647#msg_53137
When above 20cm3 of WSF material, it matters: you pay half price for the cm3 above 20 (23 will cost like non discounted 21.5) if the bounding box is less than 10 times the material used.

PS: The pricing formula had a bug, so beware, it can look ilogical at first glance. The report was... somewhere...]]> stannum 2012-08-25T23:19:14-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=53138&th=10647#msg_53138
