If one plate prints several pieces, enter the number here. Costs are split per piece.
Filament
Use the total filament weight shown after slicing. For multi-colour prints, make sure the figure includes purge (flush) and the prime tower, not only the model. Add a row for each material.

This calculator works out the cost of a 3D print and a suggested selling price. It covers filament, electricity, machine wear, failed prints, labour, packaging and marketplace fees. Prices are shown in RM, and you can switch to another currency at the top of the calculator.
Domechy members can save their printer and product settings as presets, so the next quote only needs the numbers that change.
How the price is calculated
- Filament cost is the spool price divided by the spool weight, multiplied by the grams used. Bambu Studio and OrcaSlicer show this weight after slicing.
- Electricity is the printer's average power draw in kW, multiplied by the print time and your electricity rate per kWh.
- Machine wear spreads the printer price over its expected print hours, plus a maintenance allowance for nozzles, build plates and belts.
- The failure rate is the share of prints you expect to fail. The cost of the failed attempts is spread over the good prints, so at a 10% failure rate the print cost is divided by 0.9.
- Labour covers setup time for each print, such as preparation and plate removal, plus finishing time for each piece, such as support removal.
- The suggested price is the cost per piece plus your markup, or the price that gives your target profit margin. A 50% markup on a RM10 cost gives RM15, while a 50% margin gives RM20. If you sell on a marketplace, the listing price is raised so that the amount you receive after the platform fees still matches the suggested price.
