Before the object is exported to the printer, you also set the infill. I am only using a 10% infill so the part is actually hollow inside. You'd never know by looking at it from the outside. You can see that the printer makes triangular trusses like a bridge. It is amazingly effective and rigid. Sorry for the poor pics. The print head was moving and the cover was down.
The ABS spool costs $48/kg from Makerbot which is where I assume we bought it. My part weighs 120g so ~$6.
I would not be comfortable using work equipment, etc (even if I bought my own spool) to sell parts to the public, though. Sorry about that.
I will gladly share my Sketchup files, etc, with you, though, if you find someone in your area to print it for you. It is easy enough to draw it in Sketchup, too. I think the larger adapter will be a little loose, but I plan to pad out the SDD with tape or something to make it a little snugger.
