The cost view is the recorded MJF alternative; the geometry-led recommendation is CNC turning. These are different processes, with different assumptions.
material costSHOP
CAD volume 4.63 cm³ × PP (Polypropylene) density 0.90 g/cm³ = 0.0042 kg × $7/kg (shop polymer lot price) × (1+0.1 scrap) × region-material ×1 × 1.3 markup
parts per buildDEFAULT
nesting: packing 0.1 × env (380, 284, 380) ÷ part bbox (21.16, 21.43, 21.48)+5mm spacing = 223 parts/build
machine costSHOP
0.0682 hr × $30/hr ÷ 0.8 utilization × region-labor ×1 × 1.3 markup × 1.15 overhead [build-job 380mm ÷ 25mm/hr = 15.2hr full build ÷ 223 parts/build = 0.068hr/part]
labor costSHOP
finish 0.08hr/part + bulk 0.5hr/build ÷ 223 ≈ 0.0822422hr × $52/hr × region-labor ×1 × 1.3 markup × 1.15 overhead
setup costSHOP
setup 0.5hr × $52/hr × ceil(10/223) = 1 setups ÷ 10 × region-labor ×1 × 1.3 markup × 1.15 overhead
