Current news on 3d printing

Patrice, to be fair, there is a lot more that goes into the cost of a 3D print than just material. dukejazz did a wonderful job of breaking down the cost of the cheapest material available, but many machines use more expensive materials. You also need to include cost of the machine, electricity, operator time, and in some cases overhead costs like building rent.
Hope that helps explain why costs can be be so much!
looks like dukejazz also explained while I typed my post

Hi Dukejazz,
Thanks a lot for this very complete answer
" Thus the answer for cubic mm of ABS material is
{($0.04/cm^3) / 1000 } = $0.00004/mm^3 (US$dollar/cubic mm)
ABS is roughly $0.00004/mm^3, and PLA is $0.00005/mm^3.- dukejazz.
cheap!"
Sure! but there is not much to do with such a tiny quantity...Anyway this helped me to realize that some people around in the 3D printing business
are asking far to much for their services.Thanks again, keep going with the good job on this subject.

Ok!Ok! I agree with both of you that there is a lot more that goes into the cost of a 3D print than just material.... But still, I join a picture including slice cut and dimensions of the object I asked a quote for.
The volume is something like 30000 mm3 which means accoording to Dukejazz material cost estimation of ABS $ 1,2 in material. The quote I get is $ 250..."That's why you need to print it yourself to save money and get the material direct for cheap - Dukejazz"
“A Third of All Americans Wants a 3D Printer in 2014″Thanks for the good advice!

Patrice, if you go to http://www.3dhubs.com/ or http://www.makexyz.com/ you should be able to find someone near you with a desktop printer to give you a quote. The cost will be MUCH lower than using a print service. Your part looks easy to make on a small filament printer.

That sounds too much and I created a similar piece to get a price (I used shapeways here)... even with gold I'm not able to reach your price?!

Thanks d12dozr for these two efficient website.
Thanks also cotty.
I have probably rang at the wrong and worst door at my first inquiry for a quote
Others are coming in now far more reasonnable and in the range cotty shows.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, I apreciated.Patrice
