How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter your printer's bed width and depth, then the model's footprint width and depth.
  2. Select your filament material (PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, etc.) from the dropdown.
  3. Set the actual bed temperature being used.
  4. Review warping risk, recommended bed temperature, and suggested brim width.
  5. 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.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Bed Width = 220, Bed Depth = 220, Model Width = 80, Model Depth = 80 = 6 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Warping Risk
    2 = 2
  3. Calculate Bed Coverage
    Bed Coverage
    13.2 = 13.2
  4. Calculate Recommended Bed Temp
    60 = 60
  5. Calculate Suggested Brim Width
    3 = 3
