3D Printing Calculators
Twelve calculators for cost, filament and printer calibration.
- Print costFilament, electricity, wear, failures and a selling price, in Rp or $.
- Filament length ↔ weightMetres to grams and back for PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, nylon …
- Filament left on a spoolWeigh the spool, take off the empty spool, get the metres left.
- Filament drying guideTemperature and time for a dryer box, dehydrator or printer bed.
- Material shrinkageThe slicer scale that keeps tight-fitting parts fitting.
- Rough print timeFrom volume or size, layer, speed and infill.
- E-stepsExtruder calibration: new e-steps and the M92 command.
- Flow rateNew flow from a measured wall thickness.
- Volumetric flowmm³/s against typical hotend limits.
- Magic layer heightsLayer heights that match the Z motor's steps.
- Stepper VrefTMC2209, A4988 and DRV8825 with Rsense.
- Acceleration distanceHow far until full speed.
