Calc3D (English)

3D Printing Cost Calculator

Calc3D is a Windows 10/11 tool that analyzes .gcode and .3mf files generated by slicers and calculates the detailed cost of each part on the bed — including material, support, purge, tower and machine time.

Ideal for anyone selling 3D prints who needs fast and professional pricing.

Main features

• Individual cost per part, even with multiple parts on the bed
• Cost breakdown: filament, support, brim, purge and machine time
• Waste analysis for multicolor prints (flush, wipe tower, skirt)
• Multiple plates with individual or total view
• Automatic detection of filament type and density (PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, PA, PC)
• Configurable profit margin and machine cost per hour
• Share quotes via WhatsApp
• Interface in Portuguese (BR and PT), English and Spanish
• Light, dark and colorblind themes
• Lightweight (under 6 MB)

Tested slicers

• Bambu Studio 2.5+
• OrcaSlicer 2.3+
• PrusaSlicer 2.9+
• Creality Print 6.x and 7.x
• Snapmaker Orca 2.3+

Tested printers

• Bambu Lab P1S, A1
• Creality K1, Creality Hi, Ender 3
• Snapmaker U1 (toolchanger)
• Voron 2.4

Required setup

• For better per-part cost separation, enable the “Label objects” option in your slicer.

Version history

[2026/03/31 version 0.2.0]

• PrusaSlicer 2.9+ support (object detection via Label Objects: OctoPrint)
• Machine cost ($/hour) is now calculated and distributed proportionally per part
• Automatic filament density detection from gcode, validated by material type (±5%)
• Default density table: PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, PA, PC, PVA, HIPS, PP
• Flush estimation for Creality Print via flush_volumes_matrix (~100% accuracy vs slicer)
• Fixed extrusion calculation for Creality (E+ with movement, ignores retractions)
• Print time extraction for all slicers (Bambu, Orca, Creality, Prusa)
• Costs tab refactored: Object → Filament (by color) → Consumption (Machine + Base: Support/Brim/Purge)
• Multi-language system: Portuguese (BR and PT), English and Spanish, with auto-detection
• Currency adjustable by language (R$, €, $)
• Colorblind theme (high contrast, no green/red dependency)
• Configurable “Title” field for sharing customization
• Shared costs now display meters/grams/value (not just mm)
• Fixed crash when opening as MSIX (WebView2 User Data Folder)
