Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the calculator calculate electricity cost?
The calculator takes the average power consumption of your 3D printer in Watts (W), multiplies it by the print time in hours to get kilowatt-hours (kWh), and then multiplies that by your electricity rate per kWh (e.g. USD/kWh). Country presets make it easy to start quickly with average rates.
Are my G-code and STL project files uploaded to a server?
No. All G-code and STL analysis is done 100% locally in your web browser. We use secure HTML5 APIs (FileReader) and the Three.js library. No files or 3D geometry are uploaded to any server, keeping your designs fully secure and private.
How should I account for failed prints in the pricing?
The 'Failure Rate (%)' field allows you to allocate budget for unexpected print failures. For example, if set to 10%, the calculator automatically adds a 10% markup to the total material and energy costs. This ensures your successful prints subsidize failed ones without cutting into your profit margin.
What are the differences between FDM and SLA cost calculations?
FDM pricing is based on filament weight and hardware wear. SLA resin printing is more complex and requires consumables like the resin bottle, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) for cleaning, the FEP sheet (which has a limited lifespan), and curing lamp power/time. The calculator automatically adjusts input fields based on your selected tab.
