Resin 3D Printing Cost Calculator

Resin is sold by the liter, which is 1000 ml. Cost equals the volume in milliliters divided by 1000, then multiplied by the price per liter. So 30 ml from a 50 dollar liter is 0.03 times 50, which is 1.50 dollars.

MSLA slicers such as Lychee, ChiTuBox and Photon Workshop show the estimated resin volume in milliliters once you slice a plate. It appears alongside the layer count and print time in the slice summary.

Resin is a liquid dispensed by volume from the vat and sold by the bottle in liters, so volume pricing matches how it is measured and poured. Filament, by contrast, is a solid sold by weight, which is why that calculator uses grams.

Yes, and that is what you want. The slicer volume already includes the supports, rafts and any islands on the plate, so the figure reflects the resin actually cured for the whole print.

No. It prices the plate volume only. Resin lost to cleaning, drips, failed prints and the film left on parts before curing all add real cost, so add a margin if you need a true per-part price.

Slice the full plate with every copy on it and use the total milliliters it reports. The single figure already covers all the parts plus their shared supports.

The slider reaches 1000 ml, a full liter bottle. For a run that uses more than a liter, price each liter's worth separately and add the totals.

Only through its price. Standard, ABS-like, water-washable and tough resins are all sold per liter, so enter whatever that specific bottle cost. The milliliters the slicer reports do not depend on the resin chemistry.

No. The calculation runs in your browser, so the volume and price you enter stay on your device.
