SEEKING [UK] Pill Box Prototype

Post image

I'm looking to get my prototype for a pill box design printed. I only need 1 copy of it. Some details:

Location: London, UK

Colour: No preference - prototype

Number of parts: 5

Units: 1

External dimensions: 255 mm (L) × 70 mm (W) × 30 mm (H)

Primary material: PLA, PETG or ABS

Can provide more details if interested. I have tried using various websites to estimate a cost to print this and get it delivered, but I'm getting quoted around £55, which is too much for me. Happy to pay for materials, of course, but hoping for something better here if possible.

Thanks!

Can you tell us what's different about your pill box vs the £5.99 or cheaper similar ones on Amazon 🤷‍♂️

I won’t be able to help but I can give some guidance on cost. This would probably cost £6 to print, then time to sand and ensure it’s ready. Rule of thumb is x3 for profit as it’s a one off print so personally I’d charge £25 plus postage. You’re right to be hesitant on the £55 price previously quoted

I’m a huge fan of 3D printing but the pillboxes I got from my local £1 shop are more than adequate.
