Hi I can easily help you here. But first I need to know here you are located.

The Geography can dictate the price you can only charge.

Also what is your academic / training background.

Further as a small tip, it seems you did this job without first talking about cost with the client.

I highly suggest to do that first before you even start working and ask 50% upfront and 50% when finishing the work.

That isn't a small tip. That is of the absolute essence!!!

Most people that are not involved in 3D modeling have no idea how long something might take to model. As such it is essential that they have an understanding of cost before engaging.

How much per hour?

Are you a professional design shop, with a brick and mortar location, paying taxes, employee wages, utilities, etc? I'm guessing not, because if you were, you would already have a pricing model.

Are you a lonely guy 3D modeling on a seven year old laptop in your grandmother's basement? Then $35 per hour sounds about right. Be careful though...you need to understand Fusion's licensing conditions. If you go over a certain amount of income, you can't just use it for free.
