Hi everyone, im a 22 year old student from india.. financial situation at home is bad, so im thinking of starting a custom 3d mini figures business.. users can upload their pic which is then coverted into 3d model using ai and it is printer in white colour using a 3d printer then i will paint it and dispatch it.

im very new to this and i don't have any person to clarify me so pls consider replying..

1)how much amount of filament it would take to 3d print a 8inch standing mini statue of a person

2)which brand 3d printer offers value for my money (as i mentioned i don't have much investment)

3)would there be any extra costs i need to consider apart from printer cost and filament cost
