Consumables and upkeep shape the real cost more than the purchase price.
An embedding station's lifetime cost is dominated by consumables and upkeep, not the purchase price alone.
Consumables
Paraffin wax, base moulds and cassettes recur constantly — size them to your embedding volume. See embedding station consumables.
