What this print really costs, and what to charge.

Filament cost is the part everyone prices. Machine wear, power, your twenty minutes of cleanup, the one in fifteen that fails, and the box it ships in are the parts that turn a "profitable" Etsy shop into a hobby that pays for itself. This counts all of it.

WHAT IT DOES

• Reads slicer G-code headers: filament grams or length, print time, material (PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Cura, Simplify3D)
• Material with purge and support waste; machine cost from printer price over lifetime hours plus yearly upkeep; electricity from watts and hours
• Your time: setup once per batch, post-processing per part, at your rate
• Failure allowance divides production cost by the success rate
• Consumables, packaging and shipping per batch, markup, and a minimum price floor
• Price each, quote total, profit, margin, and profit per printer hour
• Printer and material profiles; saved quotes with numbers and dates; printable quote
• Any currency symbol
