A 3D printing cost calculator for a single print. Take the filament weight (g) and print time your slicer estimates (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, etc.), then enter the filament price (per kg), the printer's power draw (W) and your electricity rate (per kWh). It works out the filament cost (weight × price), the electricity cost (power × time × rate) and an optional labor/machine cost (hourly rate × time), then sums them. A failure/spare percentage marks the cost up to cover failed prints and discarded supports or brims, and a markup percentage turns the cost into a suggested selling price in one step. It shows the breakdown (filament / electricity / labor), the subtotal and the cost per gram, so you can price prints you sell on Etsy, BOOTH or a marketplace, or build a defensible quote for commissions. Find your filament price per kg by dividing the spool price by its net weight in kg; a small FDM printer typically draws roughly 100–200 W (a plug-in power meter gives the most accurate figure). Every calculation runs in your browser; the numbers you enter are never sent to any server or API.
How to use
- Enter the filament weight (g) and print time your slicer estimated.
- Set the filament price (¥/kg), printer power (W), electricity rate (¥/kWh), and an optional labor/machine rate (¥/h).
- Add a failure/spare percentage and a markup to get the cost breakdown, cost per gram, and a suggested price (nothing is sent).
FAQ
Are the numbers I enter sent anywhere?
No. The cost, electricity and price calculations all run in your browser. The values you enter are never sent to any server or API — everything stays on your device.
How do I find the filament price per kg?
Divide the spool's purchase price by its net weight in kilograms. For example, a 1 kg spool bought for ¥3,000 is ¥3,000/kg. If the weight is given in grams, divide by 1,000 to convert to kg first.
What printer power (W) should I enter?
Use the printer's rated or measured draw. A typical home FDM machine averages roughly 100–200 W while printing. A plug-in power meter gives the most accurate figure and therefore a more accurate electricity cost. The default is 150 W.
What's the difference between the failure allowance and the markup?
The failure/spare percentage increases the cost itself to cover failed prints and discarded supports or brims. The markup is applied to that cost to suggest a selling price with profit on top. Set both to 0 to see the bare cost.
