Frequently Asked Questions
How much does PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber) cost per gram?
At a standard retail price of $32.99 for a 1000g spool, PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber) costs approximately $0.033 per gram ($32.99 per kilogram).
How much does a typical 100-gram print cost in PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber)?
A 100-gram print using PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber) costs $3.30 in raw polymer. Factoring in average electricity ($0.03–$0.06/hr), machine depreciation ($0.15–$0.25/hr), and an 8% failure buffer, a typical 4-hour print will cost approximately $4.75 in total manufacturing cost.
How do I quote commercial 3D prints using PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber)?
To calculate a client quotation price for PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber): combine raw material cost, electricity draw, hardware depreciation, and operator labor prep time. Then apply a 40% to 65% retail profit margin (or a 2.5x to 3.0x markup multiplier) using the commercial pricing engine above.
How do I calculate PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber) cost from sliced filament length (meters)?
To calculate filament cost from slicer meters: at 1.75mm diameter, 1 meter of PETG-CF (Carbon Fiber) weighs approximately 0.31 grams, costing approximately $0.010 per linear meter.
