Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Wood-Fill PLA cost per gram?
At a standard retail price of $26.99 for a 1000g spool, Wood-Fill PLA costs approximately $0.027 per gram ($26.99 per kilogram).
How much does a typical 100-gram print cost in Wood-Fill PLA?
A 100-gram print using Wood-Fill PLA costs $2.70 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 $4.15 in total manufacturing cost.
How do I quote commercial 3D prints using Wood-Fill PLA?
To calculate a client quotation price for Wood-Fill PLA: 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 Wood-Fill PLA cost from sliced filament length (meters)?
To calculate filament cost from slicer meters: at 1.75mm diameter, 1 meter of Wood-Fill PLA weighs approximately 0.28 grams, costing approximately $0.008 per linear meter.
