Dust control? Up on a ladder on the outside of the house, probably with a breeze blowing the dust away. Would you want the dust control to be a small bag that fills rapidly so you have to climb down to empty it frequently? Or a really long hose?

A. I vaguely remember the tractor cup holder story. #2. Need to revise my mental math example. That brings the cost down to 1/3 cent / ft. Wow.

You know what’s interesting, looking at all the equipment and people it takes to make the filament ... A little mental math … cost me $10 for a 1 kg roll. That’s about $10 for 1,000 ft of filament … or 1 cent/ ft. Delivered to my door. That includes raw material, labor, equipment...
