Questions, answered
Built for the work between idea and invoice.
Can I use the calculator without an account?
Yes. Start with a single print in the calculator, then create an account when you want to keep your workshop data together.
What goes into a job cost?
Start with material and machine time, then include power, overhead and any job-specific extras before setting a margin.
Is this only for large print farms?
No. OpenPrintCosts is designed for independent makers and small workshops that want their first printer — or their next ten — to pay their way.
What changes with Pro?
Pro is where recurring products, workshop records, quotes and sales can stay connected instead of living in separate files.
Make the next quote simpler
Your printer makes the part. OpenPrintCosts makes the number make sense.
Open the calculator, cost one print, and see what a clearer workshop can feel like.
