3D printing cost

Calculate the cost of a 3D print by adding filament, electricity and profit margin. Ideal for makers and cosplayers who sell parts.

How it works

What this solves

Guessing a 3D part price leads to loss. Here you separate filament cost (proportional to grams used) from energy cost (power × time) and apply your margin on top.

How to use

Get the part weight from your slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu). The rest you set once: spool price, average printer power and the energy rate from your bill.

Formula

total = (peso/rolo × preço) + (potência/1000 × horas × kWh) × (1 + margem)
