Hi, I have an idea for something that I could really use but can't find anywhere.. So let's say I design my thingy, I'm thinking of roughly the size of 20cm x 5cm x 4cm, how much would it roughly cost to have this printed and sent to me? Would it get much cheaper if I ordered 20 or 100 pieces?

This depends largely on material choice and to a lesser extent on which supplier you choose. Tinkercad is a design package, we don't do the printing ourself but outsource it to printing services like Shapeways and i.Materialise. I would suggest taking a look at their sites to figure out prices and materials.
