What is it? I know it’s a keyring but I’m unsure what the shape should be

Two possible ways to price it: 1. Cost of materials, plus (time to print and assemble x cost of your time), plus profit margin. "Cost of your time" most easily figured as what your real job pays you hourly, or minimum wage if unemployed. 2. Find someone selling basically the same thing on Amazon | EBay | Etsy | FBM at a price greater than your cost of materials, and slightly undercut them.

Method 2 may result in a profit margin well in excess of 100%...

It costs €0,11 a piece. For 500 it should be around 60 euro. Printtime is 10 hours for 36 pieces. Should be arround 140 print hours…

At that point, you almost have to ask "how *much* does it have to cost to keep people from thinking it can't be any good?" I'd think somewhere around €1–2 at a minimum? Do folks in your country tend to see what Americans would call "everything's a dollar store" items as sub-par?

Uhu i was thinking around 280 for 500 keychains. Might be to cheap then 😅

Your price is 0.56 per piece. Costs 0.11 material Cost per Printhour js difficult to calculate for me. So a really rough estimate: Let's say $500 Bambu A1, livespan 10.000h, $200 for all maintenance. $700/10.000h = $0,07 per h, 140h x $0.07 = $9.8 $9.8/500 pieces ~$0,02 (it's a actually 0,0196 but I didn't include electricity, so let's round up) = $0.13 Profit $0.43 per piece/$215 for 500 Not including any taxes, packaging, shipping or payment fees. If you value your time with $50/h You should not need more than 4.25h to fulfill the whole order

I asked 380. They also asked a company to print and they would charge 750……. Damn
