when I uploaded my 4 parts, the sandstone costs are Higher than STW, even though the material page says that sandstone should be about half the cost (.75 per CM3 for sandstone compared to 1.40 per CM3 for STF)

is this a glitch? or does pricing change for other reasons?

I caught it after sending as well.]]> michaelzindell9246 2012-06-01T19:29:51-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=49309&th=9748#msg_49309 Youknowwho4eva 2012-06-01T19:32:12-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=49314&th=9748#msg_49314
I uploaded my original file, and WSF came out less than the sandstone.

I was trying to figure out what it could be other than the handling fee, as the model is quite large (11 inches x 8.5 x 3.75 at the widest parts)

then I mocked up something similar in primitives, to scale with the original, and compared materials in this model (sandstone and WSF)

this time sandstone prices came out where I would expect them in comparison to WSF from the price chart. (about 40% less)

what do you think this could be?]]> michaelzindell9246 2012-06-01T20:07:17-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=49316&th=9748#msg_49316
There is also a volume discount on models with a volume greater than 20cm3 and density higher than 10%. After the first 20cm3, the remaining volume is calculated with a 50% discount.

Hope this sorts it out for you.]]> bitstoatoms 2012-06-01T20:18:40-00:00
