We do not charge for printing at this time because the filament has been donated, but please be aware of printing costs (only filament cost):

Amazon - $16 to $20 per 1 kg roll of PLA.

Makerbot - $48 (believe 0.9 kg) so $53.3/kg.

Makerbot has odd size spool holder, so either have to buy Makerbot, or wind another brand filament from a non compatible spool to an emptied Makerbot spool, or just suspend non compatible spool outside of holder.
