Hilal Hurley: Stl Print

Every 3D printing project carries a set of costs that are predictable in retrospect but easy to underestimate in advance — filament weight, machine run time, electricity consumption, platform preparation, post-processing, and the overhead of equipment maintenance and workspace use. This app assembles those cost components into a single estimate before you commit to a print, so the quote you give or the price you set reflects the actual work involved rather than a rough guess. The calculation parameters are adjustable to match your specific situation — your electricity rate, your material cost per gram, your machine hourly rate. Over time, comparing estimates against actuals builds a calibration that makes each new estimate more accurate than the last. The goal is not to minimise the price — it is to make sure the price you charge or pay is a price built on reality.
