    My hobby/avocation/whatever thing is turning into a business. :)
    To that end, I 3D print components of what I make.

    Filament cost is easy, but how do you figure in a number for machine cost to cover things like replacement of parts that wear out or break, or eventual replacement of the whole machine? It's an equation in too many unknowns for my EE head.

    Any ideas, rules of thumb?

    Speak directly to @Geof, he is running a business using multiple and varied 3D printers, he could give you some guidelines.
