Re: Project "Ghost" - 1972 C10 Pro-touring

Cool technology building cool parts. I like it.

Curious.... What is the materials cost for each 'prototype' created? I've wondered about this since people started posting their potential creations.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

This prototype uses about 500g of filament (each half is about 248g). The material I'm using right now is PLA Pro and it's about $42.00 per 1kg, so it means this prototype will cost about $21.00 to print.

I used it because it was already loaded in the machine, but I can get PLA that is of a lower quality, which means it won't be as strong and it'll warp at a lower temp, but is fine for prototyping, for about $18.99 for 1kg, so I could get the prototype print cost down to about $9.50. Each half takes about 10 hours on the printer to create.
