How it works

Support resin is model volume multiplied by the support percentage, and waste is applied after model plus support volume. Total millilitres are multiplied by bottle price divided by bottle size.

  • Fifteen percent supports and five percent waste are editable planning assumptions.
  • Bottle price and size remain explicit for brand and region differences.

Worked example

A 50ml model with typical supports
Input
											Model volume ml: 50
Resin bottle price: 30
Resin bottle size ml: 1000
Output
												Support volume ml: 7.5
Total resin ml: 60.38
Waste ml: 2.88
Cost: 1.81

When to use this

Resin print quotes, print-farm material planning, and bottle inventory estimates use this calculation.

Edge cases

  • Waste is applied after support volume is added.
  • Slicer volume may exclude hollow-model drain and wash loss.
  • Machine time, cleaning supplies, and failed prints are outside material cost.
