Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find out how much filament my print uses?
Your slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, etc.) will tell you the estimated filament usage in grams after you slice your model. Look for "Filament used" or similar in the print preview or statistics.
What's a good hourly rate for my 3D printer?
Most hobbyists use $1-3 per hour for machine time, while professional services charge $5-15 per hour. Consider your printer's cost, maintenance, and electricity when setting your rate.
Should I include electricity in my print cost?
For most hobbyists, electricity cost is minimal (usually under $0.10 per print). However, for long prints or if you're running a business, including electricity gives you more accurate costs. Our calculator supports both approaches.
How much markup should I add when selling prints?
Most print sellers use 50-150% markup over their costs. The right markup depends on your market, competition, and the uniqueness of your prints. Our pricing calculator helps you find the right balance.
Are these calculators accurate?
Yes! Our formulas are based on standard material densities, actual electricity calculations, and industry-standard pricing methods. Results match real-world costs when using accurate inputs.
