      For hands that I make using FDM, they cost under £10 to manufacture. However they have design limitations and tend to be very simply.

      For more complicated designs I use SLS where they can cost up to £200. This process has a lot of design freedom where we can even print chain mail.

      Have a quick look at this earlier question to see the processes:

      For the butler project, the cost for a full-sized humanoid robot is under £2K including all the motors and sensors
