When 3DHubs pays me for an order via PayPal, does PayPal then take a cut as well?

Just wondering. I’ve opened up a hub and am trying to determine what my markup needs to be above the cost of filament. 3DHubs takes a fair chunk and so does PayPal. If they’re both going to get a piece, that will change my pricing structure significantly.Also, for anyone else who has tried printing on commission, any comments about what a fair markup is or how to determine a fair fee are welcome! I’m not trying to make this into a business, just doing it for fun, so I want my prices to be correct (i.e., I’m not /losing/ money and competitive enough to attract some customers). http://ift.tt/2ea8D6h

Got drunk, bought a 3D Printer. What do I need to do to prepare myself?

Hello,I bought a 3D printer, Folgertech i3 2020, for tinkering/hobby purposes. I’ve been delaying purchasing one (since September) but I finally pulled the trigger on it(thanks gin!). What should I expect from this build and what tools/material should I get to prepare myself? Many build seems to be needing extra washers and metric screws of different lengths. Is there a kit of hardwares should I purchase?Thank you for your help guys! http://ift.tt/2frlEhz
