GUIDE

How to Calculate 3D Printing Cost

A real quote is more than filament. This model includes time-based electricity, machine depreciation, labor, failure buffer, and hourly overhead.

CORE FORMULA

Material + time-based costs

(Weight × price/g) + (time × kW × rate) + depreciation + labor

ACCURACY

Why G-code beats guesses

We parse slicer-estimated time and filament locally, so your production file stays private.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is 3D printing cost per hour calculated?

All material, electricity, depreciation, labor, overhead and failure costs are added and divided by total print hours.

Does the G-code leave my device?

No. Parsing happens entirely in your browser.

Can I quote in Indian rupees?

Yes. Switch between USD and INR at any time; every input and result converts together.

What should I charge for failed prints?

Use the adjustable failure buffer. Ten percent is a practical starting point for many shops.
