A small print shop or print farm usually runs a job of 10 to 50 copies of one part. This example prints 10 desk organisers of 85 g plus 5 g of purge and supports each, 4 hours a print, with 5% failed prints. Here is the batch the calculator starts with, worked out the same way. It makes 10 parts at $4.56 each.
| Material | Used | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| PLA filament, 1 kg spool$18.99 for 1 kg | 947.37 g | $17.99 |
| Labour: 1 h 5 min at $20.00/hr | $21.67 | |
| Time on the printer: 42 h 6 min at $0.14/hr | $5.93 | |
| Total for 10 parts | $45.59 | |
| Cost per part | $4.56 | |

In the example on this page (desk cable organiser, 10 parts per batch, prices from October 2026), one part costs $4.56. That counts every material, packaging and 1 h 5 min of labour at $20.00 an hour, plus 42 h 6 min on the printer. Your cost depends on your prices and your batch size, so put in your own numbers.
Divide your cost per part by 1 minus the margin you want. With a cost of $4.56 and a 50% margin, the price is $4.56 / 0.50 = $9.12. If you also sell wholesale, check that half of that price still covers your cost.
