In addition to the significant items that the students are producing for this event we are also looking at producing multiple copies of smaller ideas that can be used as a fundraiser on the night.
We have detailed this process in numerous posts on this blog and won't repeat those posts however they are linked here.
In this instance a basic badge design has been created using a regular template for the local rugby club. To add some extra dimension to the print the print has been repeated in different colours in glow-in-the-dark filament.
The lettering has been sunken down into the print to allow it to be as robust as possible. The print dimensions are 60mm by 60mm and is 10mm wide. This has meant that using the Snapmaker machines the print time has been just over one hour.
The cost for each of the units based on the use of 16.1g of a filament is approximately 65c (NZD) this is based on the use of 5.4m of filament and it being at a regular price of $40 per kg roll. This would mean that the price point for the product would be set above this and the difference would be the profit.
Based around our experiences with the PLA and previous prints we would expect it to last for a number of years (the oldest prints on this blog still in use are now in use for over eight years as detailed on this blog)
