Machine catalog

These are the machine ids you can name in an operation's machine_options. Hourly rates, the setup fee, and the minimum charge come from the catalog endpoint so that your estimate always matches ours.

Choosing machines

• Name the machine that fits the operation. Our scheduler may use another eligible machine from machine_options; the first one sets the estimate.
• Unattended machines, such as printers, can run overnight. That affects scheduling, not price.
• If you are not sure, name one machine and say more in notes. A person reads every job before it runs.
