How to Estimate Prints per Spool

How many complete parts fit within the measured stock?

Work through the process

1. Slice one part with its required supports.
2. Add a per-part allowance if appropriate.
3. Divide available grams by buffered grams per part and round down.

Formula and worked illustration

With 460 g available and 35 g per part plus 10%, each planned part uses 38.5 g. floor(460 ÷ 38.5) = 11 complete parts.

Inputs and limits

A combined plate can change support and purge overhead. Re-slice the final layout rather than multiplying blindly.

Use the Batch Print Planner to change the assumptions and compare your own inputs. Examples here are illustrative calculations, not results from a physical print test.
