Material Impact
PLA is the most cost-effective. PETG and ABS carry a higher multiplier due to print constraints and handling.
Quality & Infill
Fine layer height and higher infill increase print time and material use, which raises cost.
Turnaround
Priority and rush jobs apply schedule multipliers to reserve immediate machine capacity.
