Frequently asked questions
How is the filament cost calculated?
We divide the price per kilo by 1000 to get the price per gram and multiply by the number of grams used in the part (you'll find this value in your slicer, such as Cura or PrusaSlicer).
How is energy use estimated?
Energy (kWh) = printer power (in kW) × print time (in hours). We multiply by the kWh price from your electricity bill. A typical printer consumes on average between 100 W and 250 W.
What is the "failure reserve"?
Not every print succeeds. This percentage adds a reserve to the cost to make up for the material and time lost on parts that fail.
How do I set the profit margin?
It's how much you want to earn above cost. A 100% margin means selling for double the cost. Adjust it to fit your market.
