How much filament to print the parts

Can someone give me an idea on how much filament is needed to print the parts?

I don’t have an exact number but I followed the suggested print settings and was definitely well below 2kgs. I used additional infill for some parts but couldn’t tell the difference when they were done.

I bought a parts bundle for my lr2 but I’d consider buying the printed parts too if I were doing it all over again. Still though there’s cool bragging rights to printing your own, plus colour choices!

Here it is on the parts page of V1engineering for the Lowrider:

Printed Parts

I prefer PLA but PETG can be used, 3 walls, 30-55% infill. Dimensions are a little less critical than the MPCNC. Total print time ≈ 64.5hrs. 1.2Kg of filament.

Here’s the breakdown for mine… Using 5 permieters and 30% infill
Total “useful” filament used was =~1.5kg
