The five items that set the right price

Most calculators count only filament. The other four are what eat your margin.

01 / MATERIAL

Filament

Based on spool price and actual grammage; in multi-colour prints every filament is costed separately.

02 / ENERGY

Electricity

Your real printer wattage and the print duration, multiplied by your current kWh price.

03 / DEPRECIATION

Maintenance

Nozzle, belts, bed — the hourly wear allowance is written into the cost.

04 / LABOUR

Labour

Slicing, preparation and post-processing minutes priced at your hourly rate.

05 / RISK

Failure allowance

The share of failed prints is added to the total cost. The item nobody calculates.

What the calculator actually computes

The calculator on this page calls the very same function the Slice&Price panel uses — not a simplified copy. The only difference is that in the panel you define your spool prices, printers and stock once instead of re-entering them for every job.
