Cost and price of a 3D printed part Works out what it costs to print a part (filament, electricity, failures, machine wear, extras, marketplace fee) and how much is left per sale and per hour.

Do I need an enclosed 3D printer? Nine questions about what you want to print show whether an open printer is enough or whether it is worth paying more for one with a chamber (ABS and ASA).

Does it fit on the A1 mini or do I need the A1? Over forty real parts sorted by their largest dimension: what prints at 180 mm (A1 mini), what only fits at 256 mm (A1) and what fits on neither.

What a 3D printer costs per month Simulates the monthly cost of filament, electricity and wear for a 3D printer from hours per week, electricity rate and filament price.
