Total Cost per Print
$1.13
Total Resin Used
18 ml
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter model volume (cm³) from your resin slicer software and resin price per liter.
- Set support material percentage (typically 10–20% of model volume for complex parts).
- Enter wash and cure consumable costs (IPA, FEP film amortization, etc.).
- Review total cost per print, resin-only cost, total resin volume used, and prints per liter.
How the result changes with Model Volume
| Model Volume | Total Cost per Print | Total Resin Used |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $4.70 | 120 ml |
| 350 | $15.20 | 420 ml |
| 650 | $27.80 | 780 ml |
| 900 | $38.30 | 1,080 ml |
What each input means
- Model Volume
- Volume of the model in milliliters (from slicer software).
- Resin Price per Liter
- Cost of one liter of resin. Standard resins are $25-40/L, specialty resins $50-100+/L.
- Support Material
- Estimated percentage of extra resin used for support structures. Typically 10-30%.
- Wash & Cure Consumables
- Per-print cost of IPA/cleaning solution, gloves, paper towels, and electricity for UV curing.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersModel Volume = 15, Resin Price per Liter = 35, Support Material = 20, Wash & Cure Consumables = 0.5 = 4 input(s) provided
