    Those are cheaper because they’re made with much higher tolerances. You can 3D print crude legos for nothing more than the cost of filament. But they’re not going to be any good.

    General rule of manufacturing. Every time you decrease the tolerances by an order of magnitude, you increase the cost by an order of magnitude.
