3D Pricehow to price 3D prints
A good 3D print price starts with real cost, then adds the business layer: time, handling, failed prints, marketplace fees, minimum order and margin.
Inputs
Start with material, electricity and machine wear. Add active labor and post-processing. Add a failed-print buffer. Then add margin, platform fees and any tax handling you need.
The most common mistake is quoting only filament plus a small markup. That can work for favors, but it breaks when orders require communication, cleanup, packaging and replacement risk.
Once the calculator produces a number, create a quote and export a PDF or PNG preview. That gives the customer a clearer price than a chat message with a single number.
FAQ
It depends on market, complexity and service level. 3D Price lets you model your own margin and compare pricing tiers.
Yes. Long prints occupy the machine, add risk and consume power, even when the material cost is low.
Not for the first version. Local storage is enough until you sell account-based features such as saved quotes, teams or customer history.
