How It Works
Batch printing reduces per-unit cost by sharing setup time and maximizing bed usage. The biggest cost savings come from packing more parts per plate and reducing labor time per unit. Failure rate decreases with experience (plan for 5-10% at first). Consider a print farm (multiple printers) for quantities over 100.
