3d printing cost estimate

This application is designed to help users estimate the cost of 3D printing projects. It takes into account various factors such as the cost of electricity, materials, print file preparation, post-production, and machine wear. The cost of electricity is calculated in both Euros and US dollars, making it convenient for users in different countries. The cost of materials can be specified by entering the price per kilogram of the spool, or users can use default values if they are unsure.

The app also considers the cost of print file preparation, which is added for each print. This means that if multiple objects are being printed, but they are all the same, the value of 1 should be entered to represent one print. This cost is important to consider as it reflects the time and effort put into preparing the file for printing.

In addition, the app takes into account the cost of short post-production tasks such as removing supports. This is a necessary step in the 3D printing process and can add to the overall cost of the project. By including this cost, users can get a more accurate estimation of the total cost of their project.

The final factor that is considered is machine wear. 3D printers are complex machines that require maintenance and replacement of parts over time. This app takes into account the wear and tear on the machine and includes it in the cost estimation.

It is important to note that the results provided by this app are only estimations and should be used as a guide. Users can contact the developer for any problems or assistance with using the app. The app also encourages users to be original and SEO-oriented when entering project details, which can help with search engine optimization for their 3D printing business. Overall, this app is a useful tool for anyone looking to get a rough estimate of the cost of their 3D printing projects.
