I wrote a GPL reprap economics javascript to calculate costs & deposition rate for a reprap and it is at:
[
members.axion.net]
This script is meant to get order of magnitude estimates of reprap economics; to answer questions like how long would it take to make a boat with a reprap, would it cost less than buying one?
To use the script, put in your estimates for the use of a reprap and click the 'account' button. The numbers in the reprap economics script are rough, round estimates. The values for future repraps are pure speculation.
If reprappers find the script useful, I'd like someone to load it into the reprap wiki, or give me permission to write on the wiki.
Cheers,
Enrique
