How it's calculated

Cross-section area = π × (diameter/2)². Volume = area × length. Weight = volume × material density. Units are converted to cm³ and grams.

Assumptions
  • Uses a representative density for the chosen material — real spools vary by brand.

FAQ

Which diameter do I have?
Most desktop printers use 1.75 mm filament; some older or industrial machines use 2.85 mm. It's printed on the spool.
