I built a tool that calculates the real cost of a 3D print (not just filament)

by

One thing I noticed when selling 3D prints is that most people only calculate filament cost.

But a print actually includes a lot more:

• electricity
• printer wear
• maintenance
• failed prints
• markup

So I built a small tool called 3D Print Calculator that calculates the real print cost automatically.

It also lets you:

  • generate quotes and invoices

  • send them to customers

  • save jobs and customers

  • run everything from your phone or PC

It’s something I originally made for my own prints, but I figured others might find it useful too.

You can try it here:

3dprintcalc.no

If you try it, I'd love to know:

What feature would make a tool like this actually useful for you?
