3D printer depreciation per hour

Spread the printer’s purchase price across the hours you expect to print—then fold that rate into a job’s suggested sell price with filament and labor.

Formula

€/h ≈ purchase ÷ (life years × annual printer hours)

Example seed: Bambu Lab P1S-class purchase, 3-year life, utilization hours, plus 20 g PLA and light operator labor. Change the machine or numbers in Advanced Mode. Estimates only—not a tax schedule.

To adjust parameters or load a design (e.g. 3MF), turn on Advanced Mode.
