How to Use This 3D Printing Cost Calculator
Name your part and choose a material (PLA or PETG)
Enter a part name, then select PLA or PETG to start your 3D print cost estimate.
Add slicer numbers: filament weight + print time
Copy the filament weight (g) and print time (h) from your slicer to calculate an accurate 3D printing cost.
Include machine and energy costs
Add your printer's hourly operating rate (machine cost) plus power consumption (W) and electricity price (per kWh) for realistic 3D print pricing.
Add extras: labor, hardware, and packaging
Include labor/post-processing, hardware components (magnets, screws, bearings), and packaging so your total 3D printing quote reflects the full job.
Fine-tune and save your quote
Adjust margin and tax/VAT if needed, then save your result as a 3D printing quote. PRO users can unlock custom printers and custom filaments for even more accurate pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this 3D printing cost calculator?
Our 3D printing cost calculator gives a highly accurate 3D print cost estimate by factoring in material cost (PLA/PETG), print time, machine time, energy, labor, and overhead. Final costs can still vary slightly depending on slicer settings, printer tuning, and local electricity rates.
What factors influence the total cost of a 3D print?
Your total 3D print pricing usually depends on filament cost per gram, printing time, power consumption, printer hourly operating rate (depreciation/maintenance), labor and post-processing, plus extras like hardware components and packaging. The calculator helps you include everything in one clear breakdown.
How do I determine the filament weight for my print?
Most slicers (like Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, Cura, OrcaSlicer) show an estimated filament weight (g) and filament length after slicing. Use the weight shown in your slicer for the most accurate 3D printing cost calculation.
Why should I include labor costs in my calculation?
If you're selling prints, labor is key for realistic 3D print pricing and profit. Labor includes file prep, printer setup, removing supports, post-processing/finishing, and quality checks. Including labor helps you produce a more reliable 3D printing quote.
How can I optimize my 3D printing costs?
To lower your 3D print cost, test different slicer settings like infill density, layer height, wall count, and print orientation. Small changes can reduce print time and filament usage while keeping strength and quality. Use the calculator to compare scenarios and choose the best cost-to-quality balance.
How much does it cost to 3D print per gram (PLA or PETG)?
A simple way to estimate cost per gram is: spool price / spool weight. But for real-world 3D print pricing, you should also include print time (machine cost), electricity, and labor. This calculator combines all of those into one final price.
How do I calculate electricity cost for a 3D print?
Electricity cost is based on printer wattage, print time, and your electricity price per kWh. Enter your power consumption (W) and kWh rate, and the calculator will compute the energy cost automatically.
What is a good printer hourly operating rate?
Your printer hourly rate typically includes depreciation (printer cost spread over lifespan), maintenance, and optionally a small overhead buffer. If you're not sure, start with a conservative rate and refine it as you track real maintenance and uptime. PRO users can create custom printers to keep hourly rates accurate per machine.
How do I price 3D prints to sell (and stay profitable)?
A solid 3D printing quote usually follows: total cost + profit margin. Total costs should include filament, machine time, electricity, labor/post-processing, packaging, and any hardware. Add a margin that covers failed prints, customer support, and business overhead - then save the result as a repeatable quote.
Can I calculate pricing for materials other than PLA and PETG?
Right now the homepage calculator focuses on PLA and PETG for simplicity. PRO users can unlock custom filaments (price, weight, properties) for accurate pricing across any material you use.
