If the $75 is (mostly) from some base flat fee, then one way to reduce
the $/part might be to have the 'file' being printed contain multiple
parts, or multiple copies of a part. You could do the plastic 'tree'
thing liek model parts come on if they absolutely need to be connected
to eachother, or just have many parts sitting there when it's all over.
With enought parts squeezed in there, the price might go above $75, but
the $/part should come down I'd think.
No?
