Maintenance cycle of A1 & Extruder life hours

The non-filament part of print cost estimation will be almost entirely dominated by labour cost.

Even if you had to completely replace an A1 after a year (which you don’t) you would get 5,000 hours (18 hours per day, times 6 days per week, times 48 weeks) making it cost like 0.05 per hour or orders of magnitude less than you pay your print farm worker.
