How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your printer's bed width and depth, then the model's footprint width and depth.
- Select your filament material (PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, etc.) from the dropdown.
- Set the actual bed temperature being used.
- Review warping risk, recommended bed temperature, and suggested brim width.
- If the model does not fit on the bed, scale it down or split it into multiple parts.
What each input means
- Bed Width
- Width of your print bed (X-axis). Common sizes: 220mm (Ender 3), 250mm (Prusa), 350mm (Voron).
- Bed Depth
- Depth of your print bed (Y-axis).
- Model Width
- Width of the model's footprint touching the bed (X-axis).
- Model Depth
- Depth of the model's footprint touching the bed (Y-axis).
- Material Type
- Filament material being used. ABS and Nylon are most prone to warping.
- Bed Temperature
- Your current bed temperature setting.
