Filament weight ↔ length

Convert a printed part's weight into meters of filament using diameter and material density. Handy to know how much is left on the spool.

Inputs

g
mm

Density in g/cm³. Typical values per material.

How it works

Why it matters

Spools are sold by weight, but slicers think in length. Converting between the two stops you from starting a long print and running out mid-way.

The math

Volume = weight ÷ density. Filament is a cylinder, so length is the volume divided by the cross-section area (π·r²). Density changes with the material.

Formula

comprimento = (peso / densidade) / (π × (diâmetro/2)²)
