About 3D Cal

The smart way to calculate and optimize your 3D printing costs.

3D Cal was built to solve a common problem for 3D printing enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals: accurately calculating the true cost of a print. Many factors contribute to the cost beyond just the weight of the filament, including electricity, spool cost variance, and print time. Our calculator takes all these into account to give you a precise cost breakdown.
