+ | ==== How much does it cost to print? ==== | ||
+ | Members are welcome to use the printers but if you are printing more than a few small items then please consider a donation towards filament and wear and tear (replacement nozzles, hot ends, belts and beds). Costs are broken down below, but roughly (exlcuding electricity) it costs around 22p per 10 grams to print. | ||

+ | When you are using the slicer you'll get an estimate of how many grams of filament a job will take to print. | ||
