Market Day 2025 - General Stock Items 3

Challenge: To produce additional material as stock items for the 2025 School Market Day.
 

Background: We have our major school event tomorrow our School Market Day.   As we have spent considerable time explaining a number of projects the students have been developing since March this year.

We also selected certain items for sale for Market Day which we know are reliable will have an audience and we can produce relatively cheaply, although as we have noted the idea is for students to personalise items, innovation for the use of technology and creativity for the use of technology.

The badge shown above are a standard item that is easily produced by the students.   We have explained this process considerably in the past.   These prints measure 70mm long are 40mm high and currently 10mm thick.   On the Snapmaker 3D Printer these prints took one hour.


Cost:
The print uses 13g of filament to produce.   For a standard roll we could produce 76 of these badges (at $30.00 per roll).  For this amount of filament and at this price the print takes 40c (rounded up) to produce and we are looking at this for setting the price.
