Maker Space

Free print tools, consignment, and featured local makers.

The Forgely Maker Space gives makers a free tool to estimate the filament a print will use, a way to consign and sell your work at our Utah stores, and a paid featured-artist directory. Estimate filament by multiplying model volume by material density (PLA ≈ 1.24 g/cm³) and your infill.

How it works

How We Estimate

The calculator is deterministic, the same inputs always give the same estimate, with no guesswork hidden. Here is the method it uses, so the math is usable even before you touch a slider.

Filament grams
Effective solid fraction (infill % + wall/support allowance) × model volume × material density, plus a wastage margin. Density: PLA 1.24, PETG 1.27, ABS 1.04 g/cm³.
Filament length
Grams ÷ density gives volume; divide by the filament cross-section (π r²) for 1.75 mm or 2.85 mm to get meters.
