I use a resin printer and have tracked all expenditure on it (printer, replacement parts, ultrasonic bath, IPA, etc) and I’ve also kept track of the resin I’ve used. The current cost comes in at 11p per gram. The only thing I haven’t accounted for is electricity. The more successful prints I can get without a system breakdown the better the cost will get. In theory the best I can get is about 4p per gram, which is the cost of resin.
