For makers with more spools than shelves
One place for your 3D Printing filament colours, the things you want to print, what each print really costs, and help when a print fails. Built by an passionate maker with many printers and many filament spools (and a 30 years of experience in software development!)
The problem
A spool looks full from the side. A colour looks different under shop lights. And nobody remembers what a print cost three months later.
You find out at 80% of a nine-hour print.
The first spool was behind the orange ones.
Filament is the small part. Time, power and wear on the printer are the rest.
The fix is somewhere in a forum thread from 2019, between three answers that disagree.
What it does
What you enter once is used everywhere: a colour in your inventory is a colour you can plan with and price with.
Record a spool in a few seconds and find it again by colour name, hex code, material or brand.
Keep a list of what you plan to print, for yourself or for a client, with everything each item needs.
Every item shows its cost as you build it. For client work, it suggests prices from 100% to 500% markup.
Try it
Change any number. The cost and the suggested prices follow.
| Markup | Price | Profit | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100% | $61.64 | $30.82 | 50% |
| 150% | $77.05 | $46.23 | 60% |
| 200% | $92.46 | $61.64 | 66.7% |
| 250% | $107.87 | $77.05 | 71.4% |
| 300% | $123.28 | $92.46 | 75% |
| 400% | $154.10 | $123.28 | 80% |
| 500% | $184.92 | $154.10 | 83.3% |
Markup is a share of the cost. Margin is a share of the price. A 100% markup doubles the cost and gives a 50% margin.
Price my own printsWhen a print fails
A guide to the common failures of filament and resin printing, an assistant that asks the right questions, and the addresses makers trust. Included in every membership.
My PETG leaves thin hairs between the parts.
Did it get worse after the spool sat open for a few days?
Most likely
Wet filament
Dry the spool at 65 °C for 6 hours, then print a stringing test.
Still stuck? Ask Claude, with a photo of the print.
Describe what you see in your own words, in English or in French. The assistant finds the matching problems, asks a few questions, and ranks the likely causes with their fixes.
68 problems of filament and resin printing, each with its causes from most to least likely, its fixes and the slicer settings to change.
100 links sorted by use: model sites, design software, slicers, calibration, communities, Canadian suppliers and French-language channels. Every link is checked each month.
41 hobby printers for filament and resin, the ones on sale and the ones just announced, with the technology each uses, what it does well and its price range.
Who it is for
You print for yourself and want to know what you have before you order more.
You sell prints and need a price that covers more than the filament.
Several printers, many orders, and spools that run out at the wrong moment.
A shared shelf of filament that everyone uses and nobody counts.
How it works
Brand, material, colour and weight. Keep the brand and material between entries and add a whole shelf in one sitting.
Name the item, choose its colours and grams, and add the hardware it needs.
The cost is calculated as you go. For a client, pick the markup that suits you.

No tiers, no limits on spools or projects, no feature kept for a higher price.
