I'm lost as a monkey watching Westworld.
In my first test you can have this:
STAND UP MODEL=TALLER, SMALL "GREEN GROUND SHADOW"
![[IMG]](https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/18813505_1899352020341596_1798450176494506735_n.jpg?oh=290e5d3aea6578d041f0cf99ab0cad19&oe=59E31A26)
FLAT MODEL=LOWER, BIGGER "GREEN GROUND SHADOW"
Only regarding Machine volume and Support volume (cause Labor and Material are different due to different number of parts and lack of some sprues in second pic).
STAND UP MODEL: Machine Volume + Support Volume = 1.38 +
1.86 = 3.24 $
FLAT MODEL: Machine Volume + Support Volume =
1.03 + 2.00 =
3.03 $
This is an small model, but I think it demostrates without doubt that machine volume finally marks the difference and
FLAT MODELS WILL BE CHEAPER IN THE END as I stated previously.
If I can have the all sprued model (first pic) in FLAT position, you can bet it will be cheaper than now.
Why did machine tends to orientate models in STAND UP position? Read my comment in page 22.
NOTE: My goal was to have the best detailed part -faces- out of the wax. But if FLAT position is also two cents cheaper, as somebody say, it's a win-win.
