About the 3D Printing Cost Calculator
The real cost of a 3D print is more than just the plastic — the printer's electricity use over a long print, plus any additional post-processing costs, all add up to the true cost per part.
Formula: Material Cost = (Weight in grams ÷ 1000) × Cost per kg. Electricity Cost = (Power in watts ÷ 1000) × Hours × Cost per kWh. Total = Material + Electricity + Other
This is a simplified model that doesn't account for printer depreciation, failed prints or maintenance, but it gives a solid baseline for pricing prints or comparing filament and energy costs across projects.
