PrintPrice

Version 1.0.4 · Free · No account

Price a 3D print from the slicer's numbers.

Enter filament or resin, power, failed prints, and any labor, packaging, or fees. PrintPrice itemizes the cost and suggests a selling price. The result is a planning estimate.

Nothing you type is uploaded. Reload the page and it is gone.

The job

Name it if you want the name on the quote. Quantity is how many successful prints this order has to produce.

Failed attempts are handled in the failure rate, not by lowering this number.

Material

Divide what you paid by the net filament or resin, then multiply by what this job uses. PrintPrice does not open a 3D file.

Use the grams or milliliters from the slicer, including brim, raft, supports, and purge if they are part of the job.

I have length in meters, not grams

grams = π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × meters × density. Diameter is in millimeters and density is in g/cm³. Read the density on the filament’s technical data sheet. PrintPrice does not supply one, because it changes by material and by brand.

1.75 mm and 2.85 mm are common spool sizes. Use the diameter printed on the spool.

Electricity

Cost is watts ÷ 1000, times hours, times your price per kWh. Printer efficiency is not estimated. The watts and the time are whatever you enter.

A figure on the power supply is a maximum. A plug-in meter averaged over a real job is closer.

Starting figure, not your bill: 18.16 cents per kWh, the U.S. residential average for August 2026 on EIA Table 5.3 (released 23 October 2026, read 11 November 2026). 2026 values are preliminary. Replace it with the rate on your bill.

EIA Table 5.3. The field stays editable after you use the average.

Failed prints

This is the share of attempts that do not finish as a sale. The cost of the extra attempts is spread onto each successful print.

Failure rate is 0%, so each successful print is one attempt and the waste line stays at zero.

Labor

Optional. Leave the rate blank if you are not putting a wage on this job.

Packaging and other costs

Bags, boxes, labels, and tissue for one finished print.

Postage you pay, a share of tape, design time, or machine wear. Enter your own wear number if you want one.

Marketplace fees

Dollar amounts from Etsy and the electricity average are U.S. dollars. Use one currency for the whole quote. Confirm the live rate in your own dashboard.

No marketplace percentage is added. In-person card readers charge their own fees. Etsy’s help pages say those vary, so this calculator does not guess them. Switch to Custom and enter a rate you know.

Profit to keep

Margin is profit divided by the selling price. 40% margin means 40 cents of each dollar of the price is profit. On a $10 cost with no fees, a 40% margin is a $16.67 price. A 40% markup on that same $10 cost is a $14 price. That pair is arithmetic, not a print price. Fees raise the price so the profit you asked for is what remains.

What this estimate leaves in the open

  • Electricity is watts times hours times your rate. Printer efficiency is not estimated. The watts and the time are whatever you enter.
  • It does not slice a model, talk to a printer, or look up a live spool price.
  • It does not add sales tax, income tax, or a default for machine wear.
  • Marketplace percentages start from cited pages where a page states them. Confirm the live rate in your own dashboard.
