Pricing isn't honest either. It's either the client or the owner that will get screwed. The client doesn't want to be charged for a high ammount of $, when material and electric cost is low. And you can't just charge low price, because you're spending several hours to print his model...
Have a look at DWS system, FSL3D and FormLab. They do cost A LOT, but they are worth it since you can justify with the high cost material, laser class safety and all other excuses. You may advertise yourself around engineer school, because there has to be few people that is willing to pay you the money for printing service.
