Make the choice from the job
Separate cost from price. Test a real order scenario, include failure risk and setup, then see whether contribution per unit can recover the work behind the product.
What people often miss
Printer condition, material formulation, model geometry, orientation, and post-processing can change the outcome. Treat a comparison or troubleshooting step as a decision framework, then validate it on a representative print.
Use the workbench for the numbers
These tools help turn the decision into a material, cost, dimension, or time check without pretending that one generic setting fits every machine.
