I have already written about what is PrintArmy and about the beginning of my journey (about the first 10 kg).
From March to June 2025, a total of 25.77 kg of products were printed and shipped. You can see statistics on the website of the Printing Army. It looks quite interesting.

If for money, then you can count something like this:
Filament price. Average UAH 300 per kg. I use PETG from Military Edge and VVM Filament (last time VVM cost UAH 270 per kg at the promotional price).
The amount of defective plastic. During this time, it turned out exactly 3 kg. I adjusted something somewhere, learned about the nuances of calibration from mistakes. Once the printer turned off - almost 700 grams of defects at a time. All this plastic was collected in a separate bag and sent for processing. Look for contacts of people in the Print Army group who take plastic and print it after processing.
Deliveries. Deliveries must be paid for independently. Curators or military should not spend their money. There can be hundreds of parcels. So, 25 kg was sent in 8 parcels. Average uah 230 for sending.
Consumers. A varnish balloon to improve adhesion and that's it.
During this time, I understood the importance of printer calibration. In between tasks, I print some things for myself. I will write about the most interesting /useful ones in the blog.
By the way. After sending 25 kg, you receive a DrukArmy certificate, which makes it possible to receive discounts from plastic suppliers. You can also easily flaunt and flaunt new printers. The link looks like this - https://drukar.me/tun2a6ab. Also added a link to his blog.
