3D printer - Tool Usage Fees By-law
We have a new working 3D printer. Right now the tool usage is set to 20c/g which is no longer a fair price for members. 5c/g means we're charging $50 for ~$25 materials which is enough to cover the machine purchase and upkeep.
Motion: Modify the Tool Usage by-law to adjust the cost of 3D printing to $0.05/g
Alternative Motion: Modify the Tool Usage by-law to adjust the cost of 3D printing to $0.05/g for members only. 20c/g for non-members. Cost for members and non members be rounded up the nearest dollar.
