Prices are definitely lower for stainless steel. I would need to investigate a different design to address higher prices for metal materials.

This ring design printed in silver was just under $200 with no markup.

If I go back and make the entire design as light as possible using very little material, there will be a price drop.

Here is what I am thinking:

• Print this design as is in plastic or multi color sandstone.
• Redesign to make the print as light as possible. (hollow out the inside, make the surface a hollow mesh, etc.)
• Print the lighter design.

At this point, when I have the lighter design uploaded, I will immediately see prices for silver, gold, stainless steel, and bronze.

Thanks for mentioning this. I will prioritize the low weight design and write up a post explaining my approach.
