Hey 3D printing community,

I thought it would be helpful to start a thread where we share tips on how to save money while getting 3D prints done—especially for those of us using external services instead of printing at home.

Here are a few things that have helped me reduce costs without sacrificing quality:

Optimize your design – Reducing support materials and print time lowers cost.

Use affordable services – Companies like Sanesra 3D offer budget rates and still maintain high print standards.

Choose the right material – PLA is often the cheapest and works for most applications.

Batch prints – If you have multiple parts, try combining them in a single file to save setup fees.

Avoid rush orders – Standard turnaround is always cheaper.

What other strategies do you all use? Are there any tools or slicer settings that help reduce cost?
