3D Printing Pricing Calculator: the true cost of your prints
Drop a sliced G-code file and price the print on your real costs, not a guess.
Most makers underprice because they only count filament. Anvil HUD prices a print the honest way: material, the electricity it drew, the wear on your printer, your time, a learned failure rate, then your fees and the margin you want. Drop the sliced G-code file and the grams and print time are read for you, so the estimate is yours, not an average.
How we price 3d printing
- Material (filament by the gram) + electricity + printer depreciation + your labor make the raw cost.
- A failure buffer and overhead load it; your fees and target margin set the list price.
- Log jobs and the engine learns your real failure rate (after 5+) and feeds your dashboards.
Every line is published at the math. No black box. The engine is free; you only sign in to save your work.

Questions
How do I price a 3D print for Etsy?▾
Add up filament, electricity, printer depreciation, and your labor, then load on a failure buffer and overhead and divide by one minus your channel fees and target margin. Anvil HUD does all of that from a dropped G-code file, and publishes the formula at /the-math.
Is the calculator free?▾
Yes. The cost engine is always free. Pro unlocks the surfaces that need history to be useful: dashboards, the jobs log, the learned failure rate, and multi-shop pricing.
Do I need to upload my model?▾
No. You drop a sliced G-code file and we read the printed grams and time from it. We store the parsed numbers, never the file or the model.
