I designed a model for a 3D printer. The parts a large so I don’t know how many spools I need. Since I don’t want to change the filament spool during the process nor want to waste lot material it would be awesome if it would be possible to calculate my models so i know what to print properly.

Thanks

Also, your slicer software should be able to calculate the volume of the printed object.

Hi! Not exactly the topic but related.

I need also the calculated volume to use somewhere else. Where can I copy the calculated number. It seems that I can only manually copy it by typing which is error prone and nasty…

Maybe somebody has a suggestion?

Thanks!
