Why are some 3D printed designs as much money as the prop itself?

Even with the latest 3D printers, 3D printing itself is a slow process. Mounts such as the Rosa Grande, Mesmerizer and Steampunk take upwards of 40 hours of printing time. We also print our mounts with higher infill percentages to increase strength and durability. Total printing costs must factor in printer wear and maintenance, electricity costs as well as occasional print failures in addition to the obvious material cost. Be assured though that our costs are always substantially cheaper than finding a 3D printing manufacturer to print parts for you.
