3D print cost calculator

Work out what a 3D print costs per part: filament or resin, electricity, machine wear, your time and failed prints, with a markup for the selling price. Free, online, and the numbers stay in your browser.

How to calculate the cost of a 3D print

  1. 1Choose filament (FDM) or resin and enter the part weight
  2. 2Fill in print time, power, electricity and printer price
  3. 3Set failed prints and markup, then read the price
  4. A price per part, split into its costs.

What you get

  • Every cost on one list.Material, electricity, wear, your time and failed prints, each with its share in percent.
  • A selling price, not just a cost.Cost per part, the markup you set, profit per part and a total for any quantity.
  • Nothing is sent anywhere.The sum runs in your browser, so your prices and hourly rate stay on your device.

What you can do

  • Switch between a filament printer (grams, price per kg) and a resin printer (millilitres, price per litre).
  • Enter print time in hours plus minutes, and the printer's power in watts against your price per kWh.
  • Spread the printer's price over its lifetime in hours, and add parts and upkeep per hour for nozzles, belts or FEP film.
  • Add your own time per part at an hourly rate for preparing, removing supports and packing.
  • Set a failed-print rate and a markup, and see the total for a batch of parts in euro, US dollar, pound or Swiss franc.

Good to know

  • Take the part weight or resin volume from your slicer. It includes supports, which the sum cannot guess.
  • Failed prints are shared out: the good parts carry the cost of the failed ones, so 5 % failures adds a little over 5 % to the cost.
  • The defaults are only examples (a 45 g part, 120 W, a 600 printer). Replace them with your own numbers.
  • Resin is priced per litre and weighed at a density of 1.12 g/cm³ for the cost of material.

Questions

How do I calculate the cost of a 3D print?

Add material, electricity, machine wear, your time and failed prints. This calculator does that from your slicer's weight and print time, then adds your markup.

Does it work for resin printers?

Yes. Choose "Resin (SLA/MSLA)", then enter the millilitres your slicer shows and the price per litre. Typical power is lower, around 50 to 80 W.

How much should I charge for a 3D print?

Use the price shown with your markup. Set the markup to 0 to see the pure cost, then raise it until the profit per part suits you.

Are my prices uploaded?

No. The calculation runs in your browser, and none of your numbers are sent to a server.
