How to Calculate 3D Print Filament Usage

What is 3D Print Filament Usage?

The 3D Print Filament Usage Calculator converts model volume to grams and meters of filament. Critical for ordering enough filament and estimating leftover. PLA density 1.24 g/cm³, PETG 1.27, ABS 1.04, TPU 1.20.

Formula

Grams = Volume × Density; Length = Volume × 1000 / (π × (Diameter/2)²)
