Spool Remaining Calculator
Weigh a used spool to estimate its remaining grams, length and value.

Separate useful model material from support, purge and wipe tower consumption.
Enter your inputs and calculate to see the result.
Avoid overlapping slicer categories. Totals account for the values entered.
Separate mode: total = model + support + purge + tower. Inclusive mode: total = slicer total; model = total − support − purge − tower. Waste percentage = extras ÷ total × 100.
Use mutually exclusive categories from the same slicer report. If support is included in a reported purge or total figure, separate it before entering a breakdown. In inclusive mode never add the breakdown to the total again.

Weigh a used spool to estimate its remaining grams, length and value.

Convert mass, length and volume using your filament diameter and density.

Check one spool against a slicer estimate and an explicit safety allowance.
How much filament goes into the object and how much becomes extra material?
