3D printing cost calculator

MakerCalc prices a 3D print the way a workshop does: filament by the gram, electricity and machine wear by the hour, your own labor, hardware and packaging, a failure-rate allowance, and a real profit margin. Add as many parts as a job needs — multi-material prints are just multiple parts — and quote a single piece or a whole production batch with setup time amortized across every unit.

There is no account and no server. Your filament library, printer profiles and saved quotes live in your browser's local storage, the whole app works offline, and a quote can be shared as a single link that opens fully editable on any device. Everything competitors put behind a monthly PRO tier — libraries, profiles, quote history, batch pricing — is free here, because it is just storage.

• Multi-part, multi-material quotes with per-part material and machine cost
• Filament library (brand, material, color, spool price/weight → price per gram)
• Printer profiles → machine cost per hour (power + amortization + maintenance)
• Batch production: setup labor amortized, per-unit and batch totals side by side
• Hardware and packaging line items; failure rate; true margin (markup shown too)
• Saved quotes with status, shareable links, printable client-facing PDF quotes
• JSON export/import backup — no signup, no server, works offline

Need a single quick number instead of a full quote? Use the standalone filament cost calculator, print time cost calculator, print pricing tool or the filament length to weight calculator. For calibration and filament handling — spool remaining, rotation distance & e-steps, drying, shrinkage and max print speed — see the tools hub.
