A collection of free, useful tools to help you get the most out of your 3D printer.
Calculate the safe Reference Voltage (Vref) for your TMC2209, A4988, or DRV8825 stepper drivers.
Find the correct drying temperature and time for PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, Nylon and more.
Calculate the distance required for your printer to reach full speed given your acceleration settings.
Calculate the scaling factor to compensate for material shrinkage. Presets for PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, Nylon, PC, PP, and more.
Convert between filament length (meters) and weight (grams) for any material density.
Calculate the exact cost of your 3D prints including filament weight, electricity usage, and machine wear.
Calculate the true cost of resin 3D prints including resin, electricity, consumables, and failure rate markup.
Calculate the volumetric flow (mm³/s) to ensure you don't exceed your hotend's max melting speed.
Estimate how much filament you have left by weighing your spool. Database of common brands included.
Calibrate your extruder's E-Steps value to fix under-extrusion or over-extrusion issues.
Calibrate your extrusion multiplier (flow rate) for dimensionally accurate walls and solid top layers.
Find the optimal 'magic number' layer heights for your 3D printer to reduce Z-wobble and improve print quality.
