Prices for each of the 3D-printed pieces were estimated based on the approximate $20 cost of a standard 1.75 mm PLA 3D Printer Filament 1 kg (2.2 lbs) Spool in 2023. Filament usage measurements in grams were calculated using a 3D-printing slicer software (Ultimaker Cura, V4.13.0) with the layer height set to 0.2 mm and cubic pattern infill density of 20%.
