Cost
Our prototype cost us about $350 to buy the materials: cotton fiber, nylon rope, ultra archea (substitute bacteria for the alcanivorax borkumnesis). Luckily we were able to use the 3D printer to print PLA rings instead of buying the steel rings. In order to pay for our materials, we set up a GoFundMe page. In reality, we estimate that the actual product will cost around $5000 to create. Everything is at a much bigger scale, and it would be using the more expensive bacteria, alcanivorax borkumensis. We did not buy this material for our prototype because it alone cost $300.
