3D print quote calculator

Drop in STL files, estimate material and print time, then refine with slicer results. Nothing is uploaded; every file stays in your browser.

1 · Parts to print

Drop STL files here or click to browseBinary and ASCII STL · multiple files supported · local processing

No files loaded. You can also add a manual part below.

An STL file has geometry but no slicer settings, infill, supports or print speed. The weight and time calculated from it are preliminary. For a reliable quote, slice the part (PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, Cura) and enter its grams and hours.

2 · Job inputs

Job name / customer Filament quality Material Print labor: slicing, setup, first layers, cleanup (minutes) Design / CAD time (hours) Minimum job fee ($)

Per-part grams and hours are for one copy; quantity multiplies both. Design time is for modeling or fixing a part; it is zero when you bring a finished STL.

3 · Rates and estimation settings

Material and geometry approximation (STL estimates only)

Filament density (g/cm³) Infill (%) Effective wall thickness (mm) Top/bottom thickness (mm) Support / waste allowance (%)

Print-time estimate (coarse; geometry cannot replace slicing)

Average extrusion flow (mm³/s) Extra time (%) Startup time per model (hours)
