How We Calculate Costs
| Cost Component | What Influences the Cost |
| Material & Scale | Volume of PLA filament, print time, machine wear, and multi-part assembly. |
| Surface Prep | Standard cleanup vs. extensive seam-filling, multi-stage sanding, and priming for zero layer lines. |
| Finish Tier | Basic tabletop airbrushing vs. advanced metallic shifts, high-chroma paint, or freehand detailing. |
