Figures use base values for one print, before power costs. Print time varies: one guide says each chip prints overnight, but a guide site and a player report that the .22 Pistol chip takes 50 work, or 3 nights at the printer's base speed of 24. Use the Module Calculator for your setup. Chips tagged Metal Printer use Scrap Metal, and metal chips need that module, which also raises power use by 50%. It's confirmed for 10mm magazines and assumed for the rest.
