Bingo. Except material cost for $42,000 one probably is likely much much higher than $50.

If you read Robohand's FAQ, to build a proper medical grade hand will cost $2,000.

"To print the fingers with the knuckle block and hinges for a Robohand costs around US$5.00. To make a proper Robohand, which includes medical Orthoplastic, stainless steel hardware, tools, Velcro, plus the time it takes, costs US$2000.00."
