Wood to manufacture the frame (15$) Small motors if you want to create animated 3D frames (15$). Wood glue (from 5 to 20 $). Small screws (10$). Little lamps (20$). Little switch (5$). Welding (15$)
The most important cost is the time you spend to create cardboard work as I do. Some of my frames need more than 50 hours!
