Filament Cost Calculator
Calculate the cost per 3D print based on model weight and filament price per kilogram.
Cost Per Print
Filament cost per print is based on how much material your model uses and the price of the spool.
Cost = (Model Weight / 1000) × Price per kg
Typical filament prices (per kg):
- PLA: $15–25
- ABS: $15–25
- PETG: $18–30
- TPU: $25–40
- Nylon: $30–60
- ASA: $25–35
Tips to reduce cost:
- Use lower infill (10-15% for non-structural parts)
- Optimize orientation to minimize supports
- Buy filament in bulk for 20-30% savings
- A typical 1kg spool contains ~330m of 1.75mm filament
