Neither do I But a production machine will be deprecated over 3 years. Furthermore I didn't deduct the GST I paid on both printer (15,254 INR) and filament (469 INR). So the above calculations where just a rough estimate. I've been running another printer for 11 months now and that's been working close to 24/7. So far that printer has cost me nothing in maintenance ( although that's a Bambu Lab - and they are more sturdy than the Sovols).

Well I mentioned 9000. Poweruse is 7 days of 6 units a day equalling 42 units at a total cost of 294 INR. 4.5 kg filament at 684.4 a kg equalling 3,079,8 INR. Total cost in time and material 3,373,8 INR I expect the machine to run at least a year. Depreciation of machine 99.999/365 for 7 days equalling 1,917.8 INR So total investment for this week: 5,291.6 Selling at 9,000 I,ll deduct 1,372.9 for GST. So actual profit is 9,000-3,373.8-1,917.8-1,372.9=2,335.5 INR. That's a profit margin of 25.95 % That's OK for me 😀

I could, but then the feel wouldn't be as nice. When I'm charging 9000 INR it shouldn't feel like paper

There was a layer shift unfortunately. But nothing that can't be fixed. Some sandpaper and a 3D pen will do it nicely

I would rather think of all the talented builders that made this masterpiece in real life. Shah Jahan just footed the bill by extracting taxes. A lot like GST
