Filament cost is only the first line of a real 3D printing quote

A print that uses a few dollars of filament can still occupy a printer for hours, consume electricity, create maintenance wear and require setup, removal, cleanup, inspection and packaging. This calculator turns those hidden costs into visible pricing inputs.

Failure allowance converts reliability into expected cost

If your expected success rate is below 100%, the successful unit needs to carry some cost from failed attempts. The model divides production-attempt cost by the expected success rate, then adds hands-on labor, packaging and overhead.
