Filament Comparison Calculator — Cost per Gram
Compare cost per gram and overall value across different filament brands and spool sizes.
Filament A
Filament B
How We Calculate This
Formula
- Cost per gram = Spool price / Spool weight
- Savings = (Higher CPG - Lower CPG) / Higher CPG x 100%
A lower cost per gram means better value. Remember that quality, consistency and print reliability also matter — the cheapest filament is not always the most cost-effective.
