Just printed off another design for UK ECE. For the price that 3DHubs charges, they should just buy their own printer...
31 hour print in ABS.

So true... But, a lot of it is paying for the convenience. Not everyone has the time, interest, or knack for tinkering and printing, and if a company is just looking for results without any of the other stuff they'll keep using your service. Plus, it's ridiculously less expensive than sending it out to a traditional prototyping service, so they're winning on all fronts - all things considered.

Yea, I'd say that's true. I received the request noon Saturday and he picked it up this morning. It was paid for with grant funds, so it's not like its coming out of his own pocket.
