• $ 42.82 for the "cheaper" one
  
• $ 54.12 for the "more expensive" one

Check for yourself:
$ 42.82
$ 54.12 (prices may vary by location)

Thought you might want to be aware. It's probably wise to always double-check the price calculation against your own data. ]]> kontor_apart 2010-11-13T15:05:41-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=20460&th=3944#msg_20460 http://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/490-Significant-price -reduction-on-dense-models.html

@SHAPEWAYS: I can't easily find a link to that page. At least not on the WSF material or pricing page?

I think the first one has a volume that is 100% of it's bounding box.
So it's eligible for the discount for models with density above 10%.

The second one is diagonal making the bounding box larger compared to the model itself, reaching below 10% density I guess..

ok this is easy to explain and indeed correctly deducted by virtox (thanks virtox!) it is the rebate on dense WS&F.

By orienting it corrrectly you save us time and yourself money.
