As our software output ignores rafts, supports, and other filament eating processes, we developed this just to get a quick output. This way, we get a true cost of printing the part, and not just the cost of the part itself.\nThis is a self-contained .exe with no dependencies aside from .Net Framework. This has only been tested on Windows, and because of its small size, nothing much will happen with this.\nIf anyone out there has a need for different calculations, please contact us and we may be able to modify something like this for other needs.\nNOTE: You won't see currency on this, because it doesn't matter. Whatever you input as a cost per cm3, that is the output. This is a true calculator and to it, numbers are numbers. If you put in dollars, the output is dollars, pounds to pounds, etc.
