Creative Commons Non Commercial: Is it possible to take money for the process of manufacturing a part and materials, leaving the drawing in the public domain?

Hello.

The situation is this. There is a drawing that is protected by a CC-NC license. Those. I can't sell parts made from this blueprint, but I can give them away for free. However, in addition to the parts themselves, there are also costs for materials, laser cutting, hardware, engines, assembly instructions. So, can I take money for these goods and services, leaving the finished parts absolutely free, and the drawings in the public domain? Or does this license also prohibit making money on related products and services? Explain someone please.

Best regards,
Nikolai

From the official site:
That is, CreativeCommons does not define what constitutes commercial use. If you are unsure, please contact the rights holder for clarification.
On the other hand, you can sell the materials for the manufacture of the part, you can also perform work from customer-supplied raw materials according to the customer’s drawing. It is hardly possible to oblige the contractor to demand clarification from the customer about where he got the drawing from.

The license in no way prohibits taking money for printing services.
You cannot take money for the sale or use of the blueprint and nothing more.
