The artificer is great with magic items and at level ten gets magic item adept. As well as allowing attunement with 4 magic items instead of 3, it also allows the artificer to craft common and uncommon magic items at half the price and a quarter of the time. This includes potions and spell scrolls. However making these calculations at the table can be annoying so I have done the work for you and edited the crafting tables for common and uncommon magic items, health potions and scrolls. The crafting table for magic items also halves consumable magic items like potions (except health potions) and scrolls as well as one use items like the Perfume of Bewitching or Veteran's Cane. I have added their cost as well.

These is an inconsistency between the tables for scrolls and magic items. The scrolls have their own table that doesn’t match up with the magic item crafting table. For example crafting a first level scroll normally according to the magic item crafting table takes 20 hours and 25 gp while scribing a 1st level scroll by the scroll scribing table takes one day (8 hours) and 25 gp. If I were you I would ignore the magic item crafting table when it came to scrolls. It does however apply to all potions except health potions.
As for the DMG crafting times good luck trying to apply magic item adept to those rules.
Assuming your DM requires that the Artificer be able to cast the spell to make a spell scroll, Magic Item Adept is limited to 5th level, right? Even a mutliclassed Wizard/Artificer at 10th level in both can only get 5th level spells.

Thanks for the public service to the community! You are missing the GP cost for the Greater Healing potion. Quick edit?

Magic item adept only applies to common and uncommon magic items. Spells scroll for spells level 4 and up are rare and higher so it doesn’t apply.
